Common Cause Failures

This article presents a practical approach to reliability assessment of a complex safety instrumented system that is susceptible to common cause failures. The approach is based on fault tree analysis where the common cause failures are included by post-processing the minimal cut sets. The approach is illustrated by a case study of a safety instrumented function of a workover control system that is used during maintenance interventions into subsea oil and gas wells. The case study shows that the approach is well suited for identifying potential failures in complex systems and for including design engineers in the verification of the reliability analyses. Unlike many software tools for fault tree analysis, the approach gives conservative estimates for reliability. The suggested approach represents a useful extension to current reliability analysis methods.

Fuzzy Fault Tree Analysis

This paper proposed a method for reliability assessment of the protection system for a switchyard by fault-tree analysis considering uncertainty of unavailability for an element. Unavailability of an element with uncertainty is expressed with the fuzzy set. The fault-tree analysis incorporated with the fuzzy set is employed to conduct the reliability assessment. The importance of elements influencing reliability can be achieved by the Fuzzy Importance Measure. Compared with traditional methods, the fault-tree analysis requires less computation. In this paper, a 345 kV switchyard in the 3rd nuclear power plant in Taiwan serves as an example for illustrating the results of the proposed method.
