Abstract

This paper presents a new reliability optimization allocation method for complex nuclear power systems based on Goal Oriented (GO) method, whose goal is to minimize the system cost. First, the new reliability optimization allocation method is expounded in detail. And its process is formulated. Then, the hoisting mechanism in nuclear power plant is taken as an example to allocate its system reliability index to design unit by the new method. The reliability optimization allocation processes are mainly as follows: (i) Conducting system analysis, (ii) Developing GO model, (iii) Establishing reliability optimization allocation mathematic model, (iv) Solving the reliability optimization allocation mathematic model, (v) Determining the allocation results. The results analysis shows that the system costs for different solving times turn to a relatively stable value, and the allocated reliability indexes of unit are satisfied with engineering requirements. All in all, this new reliability optimization allocation method can not only obtain the reasonable allocation results quickly and effectively, but it also can overcome the disadvantages of existing reliability optimization allocation methods for complex nuclear power systems efficiently. Moreover, this paper provides a new approach for the reliability optimization allocation of complex nuclear power systems.
