Abstract

Power plants have many components and equipment. It is difficult for operators to know the time of failure or the equipment that fails. Plants incur heavy economic losses due to unexpected failure. The equipment in power plants is constantly monitored by various sensors and instruments. However, prevention of failure is very difficult. Therefore, engineers are developing many types of failure-alarm systems that can detect the abnormal functioning of equipment. Such failure-alarm systems inform only about the abnormal functioning of equipment and do not indicate the cause of failure or the parts that have failed. In this study, we have developed a failure-prediction system that can provide details on the cause of trouble and the maintenance method.

발전소를 비롯한 각종 플랜트 설비는 많은 기계설비들로 구성되어 고장이 발생할 경우, 고장이 발생된 설비와 시간을 명확하게 파악하기가 쉽지 않다, 또한 고장발생시 정비비용 증가와 함께 설비의 이용률이 감소하여 막대한 경제적 손실이 발생한다. 발전소는 각종 계측센서를 설치하여 설비를 상시 감시하고 있으며, 경고발생 이전 지시치의 변화를 관찰하여 설비의 이상상태를 자동 감지하는 신호기반 고장 조기경보 시스템도 설치된 발전소도 있다. 그러나 고장경보 시스템은 이상신호 발생을 인지하여 설비의 이상상태 여부는 알려주지만 고장원인과 중요도에 대한 정보는 제공하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 고장분석 기능을 가지고 있는 RCM(Reliability Centered Maintenance) 분석 시스템과 고장경보시스템을 연계하여 설비의 이상신호로부터 고장원인과 정비방법에 대한 정보를 제공하는 고장예측시스템을 개발하고자 한다.
