Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a safety evaluation method, in particular to a non-common cause safety failure probability evaluation method based on PFD and PFH in a two-out-of-four logic architecture in a protection system of a nuclear power plant. Background technique
[0002] PFD (Probability of Dangerous Failure on Demand), PFH (Average frequency of dangerous failure[h -1 ]) is a proper term derived from the IEC 61508 standard. PFD is used to evaluate the probability of dangerous failures of the system when required under low-demand operation mode, while PFH is used to evaluate the frequency of dangerous failures of the system under high-demand or continuous operation mode.
[0003] IEC 61508-6 (2010 (Edition) is the top-level standard for functional safety. The standard gives the PFD and PFH calculation formulas for the following structures, including: 1oo1 (1out of 1 channel architecture), 1oo2, 2oo2, 1oo2D (1 out of 2 channel architecture with Diagnostics),...
