Fault tree analysis for reliability prediction of gas turbine type power plants. Volume 2. Appendixes. Final report
Fault tree analysis is a procedure used to examine systems to determine component failure modes and other events (e.g., operator errors) which can, individually or in combination, cause a system failure resulting in downtime. A system fault tree is a logic diagram which depicts the component failure modes and other fault events capable of producing, through AND and OR combinatorial logic, system failure. It is a binary model of the fault modes of a system and, as such, can be readily converted to a probabilistic model of the system. Individual component fault probabilities can be assigned to the model and combined to obtain system failure probabilities. The symbolism used in the fault tree analysis in this study is shown and defined. The gas turbine at the Naval Station plant studied is depicted. All the subsequent figures show the tree top and its 35 branches that were constructed in this study.
