Through the collaborative work of sensors, control units and actuators, it realizes real-time monitoring and rapid response to process abnormalities, effectively preventing the occurrence of catastrophic accidents. With the continuous upgrading of automation control technology and the continuous improvement of safety theory system, the safety integrity level (SIL) evaluation of the SIS system has become a key link to ensure the long-period safety operation of the equipment. As a core indicator to measure the reliability of the SIS, the SIL level is directly related to the average demand failure probability (PFD avg ) of the system. The higher the level, the stronger the system reliability, and the more significant the risk prevention and control capability.

[0038] Referring to Figures 1-7 The present application provides a method for integrity evaluation of a heterogeneous redundant SIS system, comprising the following steps: S100: defining the evaluation object and the basic data.

[0039] In the present embodiment, the evaluation object is a heterogeneous redundant SIS system, which comprises a sensor subsystem, a control unit and an actuator composed of different types of components, and the basic data comprises historical failure data of the equipment, reliability parameters provided by the manufacturer, actual operation monitoring data, simulation experiment data and industry standard case data.

[0040] S200: analyzing the common cause failure parameters.

[0041] In the present embodiment, the common cause failure parameters are analyzed, and the specific process is as follows: S201: Through the self-diagnosis function of the SIS system equipment, self-diagnosis is performed every certain period of time, and function test is performed regularly. In the system running process, the test interval stage and the test stage can be represented by two different dynamic Bayesian network models. In the safety instrument system, the node state is defined, wherein the node state defines the working state and performance index closely related to the equipment, including the opening, closing, opening fault and closing fault states of the actuator; S202: Historical failure data and equipment reliability parameters are comprehensively utilized. The historical failure data is derived from long-term operation accumulation of the system, and the reliability parameters are provided by the equipment manufacturer. The reliability parameters include the mean time between failures, failure rate, and the dependency relationship between system states is determined according to the collected data, and the conditional probability table is constructed; S203: Real-time collection of SIS system actual running monitoring data is performed by deploying sensors and data acquisition equipment, simulation experiments are performed to supplement the deficiency of actual running data, and industry standard case data summarized from the practical experience of many SIS systems in the industry is utilized; S204: The dynamic Bayesian network models of the test interval stage and the test stage are alternately connected to form the MDBN model of the SIL evaluation of the SIS system, and in the SIL evaluation, the accuracy, recall rate and F1 value are used as the indicators to measure the accuracy of the MDBN model.

[0042] In the above process, first, through the self-diagnosis function of the SIS system equipment, self-diagnosis is performed every certain period of time, and function test is performed regularly. In the system running process, the test interval stage and the test stage can be represented by two different dynamic Bayesian network models. In the safety instrument system, the node state is defined, wherein the node state defines the working state and performance index closely related to the equipment, including the opening, closing, opening fault and closing fault states of the actuator; Then, historical failure data and equipment reliability parameters are comprehensively utilized. The historical failure data is derived from long-term operation accumulation of the system, and the reliability parameters are provided by the equipment manufacturer. The reliability parameters include the mean time between failures, failure rate, and the dependency relationship between system states is determined according to the collected data, and the conditional probability table is constructed; Then, the actual operation monitoring data of the SIS system is collected in real time by deploying sensors and data acquisition devices, simulation experiments are carried out to supplement the deficiency of the actual operation data, and the industry standard case data summarized from the practical experience of many SIS systems in the industry are used. Among them, the operation parameters, state information and fault alarm data of the equipment are collected in real time by deploying various sensors and data acquisition devices in the system; secondly, the simulation experiment data can supplement the deficiency of the actual operation data; thirdly, the industry standard case data are summarized from the practical experience of many safety instrument systems in the industry, the existing safety instrument system cases are used to understand the operation law and fault mode of the system under different process conditions and equipment configurations, and more comprehensive knowledge support is provided for model training, so that the trained model can better adapt to the reliability evaluation requirements of the safety instrument system in different application scenarios; Then, the dynamic Bayesian network model of the test interval phase and the test phase is alternately connected, and the MDBN model of the SIS system SIL evaluation is constructed, and in the SIL evaluation, the accuracy, recall rate, F1 value and other indicators are used to measure the accuracy of the MDBN model. The dynamic Bayesian network model of the test interval phase and the dynamic Bayesian network model of the test phase are alternately connected, and the MDBN model of the SIL evaluation of the safety instrument system is constructed. Among them, in the SIL evaluation, the accuracy, recall rate, F1 value and other indicators play a key role in measuring the accuracy of the MDBN model. The accuracy rate refers to the proportion of the number of samples correctly predicted by the model to the total number of samples. In the SIL evaluation of the safety instrument system, it reflects the overall accuracy of the model in predicting the normal state and various fault states of the system. For example, in a test set containing 1000 samples, the model correctly predicts the state of 900 samples, then the accuracy is 900÷1000=0.9. The calculation formula is: accuracy = (number of correctly predicted samples ÷ total number of samples) × 100%. Recall is the proportion of samples correctly predicted as positive (in safety instrumented systems, fault states are typically considered positive) out of the total number of true positive samples. It measures the model's ability to detect actual faults. If there are 100 actual fault samples and the model correctly detects 80, the recall is 80 ÷ 100 = 0.8. The formula is: Recall = (Number of correctly predicted positive samples ÷ Number of true positive samples) × 100%. The F1 score is the harmonic mean of precision and recall, taking into account both the model's accuracy and recall capabilities. Precision is the proportion of samples predicted as positive by the model that are actually positive. In the example above, if the model predicts 90 fault samples, and 80 are correct, the precision is 80 ÷ 90 ≈ 0.89. The formula for calculating the F1 score is: F1 score = 2 × (precision × recall) ÷ (precision + recall). This metric can be used to more comprehensively evaluate the model's performance in SIL evaluation, avoiding a one-sided evaluation of the model's performance due to relying solely on precision or recall.

[0043] To ensure the reliability of a safety instrumented system (SIS), each subsystem is typically composed of redundant structures. Each redundant structure is called a unit, and multiple units constitute a subsystem of the SIS. When using MDBN to evaluate a SIS, the calculation of the common cause failure probability mainly considers the influence of two factors: the common cause weight ω and the β factor.

[0044] After selecting appropriate parameters, the effects of ω and β on the evaluation results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure. Based on field surveys and industry failure databases such as SERH and OREDA, β values ​​range from 0 to 0.5. As can be seen from the figure, ω and β have virtually no impact on PFS; therefore, the analysis mainly focuses on their effect on PFD. avg The impact of (average demand failure probability). Except for the PFD of the 2oo2 structure. avg Except for the PFD of other structures which decreases with increasing β value, avg All of these factors gradually increase, and the common cause failure factor β has a significant impact on the evaluation results of redundant structure SIS, while the common cause weight ω has a smaller impact. This can be seen from the figure. avg The value remains essentially unchanged. Therefore, to explore the common cause weights The influence of redundant structures is shown by ω, which ranges from 0 to 1, as follows: Figure 6 As shown. For the 2oo2 and 2oo3 structures, their PFD is... avg It shows an upward trend as ω increases.

[0045] In summary, ω is related to PFD avg The impact of β is negligible compared to β, regardless of whether it is the 1oo2 or 2oo2 structure. PFD caused by value change avgThe value fluctuates greatly. Therefore, in the SIL evaluation of the SIS system with the heterogeneous redundant structure, the influence of the factor is mainly considered in this paper .

[0046] S300: Correcting the heterogeneous redundant structure factor.

[0047] In this embodiment, the heterogeneous redundant structure factor is corrected, and the specific process is as follows: S301: Calculate the common cause failure probability, determine the β value range through field investigation and industry failure database, analyze the influence of the common cause weight ω and the β factor on PFDavg, PFDavg is the average demand failure probability, it is found that the β factor has obvious influence on the evaluation result of the redundant structure SIS, and the influence of ω is smaller; S302: Correcting the heterogeneous redundant structure, introducing a correction factor to represent the difference degree between each channel of the heterogeneous redundant structure, dynamically adjusting the common cause failure β factor through the correction factor, and accurately reflecting the reliability advantage of the heterogeneous redundant structure.

[0048] In the above process, firstly, the common cause failure probability is calculated, the β value range is determined through field investigation and industry failure database, the influence of the common cause weight ω and the β factor on PFDavg is analyzed, PFDavg is the average demand failure probability, it is found that the β factor has obvious influence on the evaluation result of the redundant structure SIS, and the influence of ω is smaller; then the heterogeneous redundant structure is corrected, a correction factor is introduced to represent the difference degree between each channel of the heterogeneous redundant structure, the common cause failure β factor is dynamically adjusted through the correction factor, and the reliability advantage of the heterogeneous redundant structure is accurately reflected; Among them, the SIS in the oil and gas exploitation and petrochemical industry usually adopts the MooN redundant structure, but its subsystem is often composed of different types of elements, for example, the sensor subsystem of a certain SIS adopts a 2oo3 structure liquid level sensor, two of which are liquid level transmitters and one is a flip plate liquid level meter. This structure is a common heterogeneous redundant structure, compared with the same type redundant structure composed of the same type of equipment, the influence of the common cause failure will be weakened, which will be reflected in the SIL evaluation result.

[0049] Because the failures, maintenance and other aspects of each element of the heterogeneous redundant structure are different, the correlation between each element is weakened, so that the common cause failure probability is reduced, which is obviously smaller than the corresponding parameter of the same type redundant structure, as shown in the following formula:

[0050] In the formula: which represents the common cause failure of the same type structure SIS.

[0051] Introducing a correction factor To characterize the difference between the two channels of the heterogeneous redundancy structure, we get:

[0052] By selecting two different types of pressure transmitters (PT1 and PT2) as the two channels of the heterogeneous redundancy structure, and referring to the typical parameters of industrial equipment and the failure database data, the basic parameters are set as shown in the table below: See the following formula, to generate random failure data conforming to uniform distribution, assume to generate 2 groups of random data, each group of data contains (PT1 and PT2) , , , , ) random values, the generation process is as follows: Determine the uniform distribution range of each parameter: usually based on the allowable fluctuation range of equipment parameters, such as Take the original value ±20%, Take the original value ±5%, CS, Take the original value ±10%, Take the original value ±15%.

[0053]

[0054] Use random number generation tools (such as Excel's RAND function) to generate random numbers or calculate random failure data: multiply the basic parameters by the random coefficient to get each group of random data, and then calculate the random failure data according to the distribution range. The table below is two complete sets of random failure data. (Obtained by multiplying the basic parameters by the random coefficient) In the formula, To characterize the failure rate, To characterize the safety failure diagnosis coverage, To characterize the proportion of safety failure, To characterize the restart time of false shutdown, To characterize the dangerous failure diagnosis coverage.

[0055] Calculate the generated random failure values to get the redundancy structure ,

[0056]

[0057] In the formula, Characterizes the random variable (with a mean of zero).

[0058] In the formula, ε is a random variable with a mean of 0, representing the measurement error, and here ε = 0, directly using the parameter values of the first group of random failure data: PT1 failure parameters: λ1 = 0.0020, 1 = 0.28, 1 = 0.83, 1 = 0.80, MTSR1 = 2.0, PT2 failure parameters: λ2 = 0.0017, 2 = 0.26, 2 = 0.90, 2 = 0.89, MTSR2 = 1.7, By means of multiple linear regression, the weight influence of failure parameters is determined, which is represented as .

[0059] The weight bn is calculated by first constructing a multiple linear regression model that the actual index of the channel is linearly related to the failure parameters, and its model formula can be represented as Y = X · b + ε. In this formula, each failure parameter is represented as Xn, and ε is the error term (with a mean of 0). The error sum of squares formula is Σε2 = Σ(Y actual parameter - Y standard parameter). The partial derivative of bn is calculated and set to 0, and the linear equation system is obtained, and the weight bn = [0.3, 0.15, 0.2, 0.2, 0.15, 0.15] is obtained by solving. The actual index of the channel can be obtained by combining the calculated influence weight and the redundant structure,

[0060] The actual index of PT1 CH1 = 0.9686 and the actual index of PT2 CH2 = 0.88 can be obtained by the above formula, and the similarity coefficient matrix between channels is obtained,

[0061] The similarity coefficients in the matrix are:

[0062] Therefore, the correction coefficient is defined as the minimum value of the elements in the N-channel multidimensional similarity matrix. This coefficient is obtained by traversing all elements of the N × N matrix and selecting the smallest one as the system correction parameter.

[0063] The similarity coefficients are calculated by the above formula: S11 = S22 = 1, S12 = S21 = 0.933. The similarity coefficient matrix is 10.933 0.933 1, and the minimum element is 0.933, so d = 0.933.

[0064] The correction factor The essence is to dynamically adjust the common cause failure beta factor by quantifying the key parameters of each channel device, such as failure rate, dangerous failure diagnosis coverage, safe failure proportion, dangerous failure diagnosis coverage, parking and restarting time, and thus more accurately reflect the reliability advantage of heterogeneous redundancy, compared with the evaluation method of fixed beta factor of homogeneous redundancy, The beta factor can be dynamically adjusted according to the actual parameter difference of heterogeneous redundancy, avoiding overestimation or underestimation of common cause failure probability, so that the SIL evaluation result is more in line with the actual operation scene.

[0065] S400: Evaluate the MDBN model through the heterogeneous redundancy structure.

[0066] In this embodiment, the MDBN model is evaluated through the heterogeneous redundancy structure, and the specific process is as follows: S401: Evaluate the heterogeneous redundancy structure, and the common cause failure node CC is the key factor; S402: In the reliability modeling of the heterogeneous redundancy system, the model architecture is divided into the basic layer, the middle layer and the lowest layer; S403: Perform heterogeneous redundancy system evaluation model modeling, describe the probability dependency relationship between each level of the system, model the probability between nodes through hierarchical parameters, and consider the transition transformation rule of the failure node state within the maintenance period to develop inter-chip parameter modeling.

[0067] In the above process, first, the heterogeneous redundancy structure is evaluated, and the common cause failure node CC is the key factor; then, in the reliability modeling of the heterogeneous redundancy system, the model architecture is divided into the basic layer, the middle layer and the lowest layer; and then, the heterogeneous redundancy system evaluation model modeling is performed, the probability dependency relationship between each level of the system is described, the probability between nodes is modeled through hierarchical parameters, and the transition transformation rule of the failure node state within the maintenance period is considered to develop inter-chip parameter modeling; Among them, (1) model construction: When evaluating the heterogeneous redundancy structure, the common cause failure node CC is the key factor, and the nodes that cause common cause failure are no longer single, and multiple nodes may cause common cause failure. When the system is configured as x-channel heterogeneous redundancy, the number of potential common cause failure nodes is represented by y=2x-1, indicating all possible common cause failure mode combinations of each channel.

[0068] In the reliability modeling of the heterogeneous redundancy system, the time dimension modeling logic of the Bayesian network can be compatible with the homogeneous system evaluation model. Specifically, the dynamic network structure describes the propagation characteristics of system failure in different stages through phase alternation. The change rule of the system in the running cycle and the maintenance detection stage Figure 7As shown, the topology has three layers: the base layer is the failure layer, which includes two core influencing factors: device-independent failure (IF) and common-cause failure (CC); the middle layer is the channel response layer (CN), which describes the operating status of heterogeneous redundant units under multiple failures; and the bottom layer is the system layer (S), which reflects the SIS system status under the coordinated action of various redundant units. (2) MDBN model parameter modeling: Modeling an evaluation model for a heterogeneous redundant system generally involves two aspects. First, it describes the probabilistic dependencies between different levels of the system, using hierarchical parameters to model the probabilistic relationships between nodes. Second, it considers the state transition patterns of failed nodes during the maintenance cycle, performing inter-chip parameter modeling. For example... Figure 8 As shown, taking the channel state node (CN) as an example, its state changes are jointly affected by IF and CC. Specifically, when IF is in the normal state (NS) and all relevant CC nodes are not triggered, the channel node is necessarily in the normal state. However, if any CC node is activated at this time, the overall failure state of the channel node needs to be calculated using probability weighting. If all CC nodes are triggered, then:

[0069] When the independent failure node IF is in a detectable dangerous failure state, the CC nodes remain silent, and P(CN=DD)=1; once all CC nodes are in an abnormal state, then:

[0070] When IF is in an undetected dangerous failure state, if all CC nodes remain silent, then P(CN=DU)=1; if the CC nodes affecting CN nodes are not in a normal state, then:

[0071] When a detectable security failure occurs in the IF and the CC node is in normal condition, P(CN=SD)=1; if the state of the CC node changes, then:

[0072] When an undetected security failure occurs at an independent failed node, and the CC node is in normal operation, then P(CN=SU)=1; if the state of the CC node changes, then:

[0073] In the formula: Characterizing CC node security failure ; Characterizing undetected security failures in CC nodes ; characterizing a dangerous failure of a CC node ; characterizing an undetected dangerous failure of a CC node ; characterizing an abnormal CC node .

[0074] The running state of the system state node S depends on the joint action of multiple channel nodes. The failure determination of the heterogeneous redundant structure S node is as follows: when the combined relationship of the channel nodes meets formula (1), it is a safe failure state; if the channel state meets formula (2), it is a DD state; if the channel state meets formula (3), it is a DU state. This failure determination principle can more accurately quantify the fault tolerance capability and failure change of the redundant structure.

[0075] (1) (2) (3) In the formula, is the total number of safe failure channels; is the total number of detected dangerous failure channels; is the number of detected safe failure channels; is the number of detected dangerous failure channels.

[0076] Since the independent failure (IF) nodes of different channels have unique degradation, detection and maintenance characteristics, after determining the relevant parameters of a specific channel, the conditional probability table of each IF node needs to be built independently. The state change of the common cause failure node within the test interval is as shown in Figure 8 In this model, the reliability parameters of multiple common cause failure nodes need to be modeled by taking the minimum value of the failure frequency and maintenance time parameters of the physical channels affected by them as the benchmark.

[0077] In the inspection test phase, the state transition of the independent failure IF node and the common cause failure CC node is as shown in Figure 9 .

[0078] S500: Perform SIL and reliability evaluation.

[0079] In this embodiment, SIL and reliability evaluation are performed.

[0080] S600: Perform life cycle cost analysis.

[0081] In this embodiment, life cycle cost analysis is performed, and in the life cycle cost composition of the safety instrument system, the fixed cost and the operating cost constitute the main economic elements; Among the life cycle cost of SIS, the fixed cost (CG) and the running cost (CY) are the main economic factors. As shown in the following figure, these two cost indicators have a significant correlation with system reliability: CG increases monotonously with the reliability indicator, CY shows a negative correlation, and the total cost curve formed by the superposition of the two shows a parabolic feature of first decreasing and then increasing. Therefore, when configuring SIS, the cost and reliability need to be balanced. Figure 10

[0082] According to literature review and field research, the running cost of SIS mainly includes engineering changes, running consumption, maintenance, failure and risk control:

[0083] The calculation formulas of system failure cost and risk cost are as follows:

[0084]

[0085] In the formula, the production loss of EUC per unit time is represented by

[0086] S700: Verify by engineering case and output results.

[0087] In this embodiment, the engineering case is verified and the results are output; In the process industry, abnormal pressure rise of gas pipeline or closed pressure equipment may cause serious consequences such as equipment rupture. Taking the gas pressure protection of the gas trunk line of a treatment station as an example. The pressure sensor of the upstream pipeline detects the pressure change in real time, and triggers the SIF when the inlet pressure is greater than or equal to 13 MPa, and the emergency shutdown is opened. This protection system controls the risk in the minimum range by physical isolation when the risk is found, avoiding the risk from further expansion, and constitutes part of the SIS sensor subsystem, which is two pressure transmitters belonging to different models and manufacturers. One is ROSEMOUNT, and the other is Siemens. The actuator subsystem is composed of a shutdown valve (SDV1), a valve (SDV2) and an export pipeline control valve (BV). The failure data of the components are shown in the following table: SIS system modeling Before calculating the redundancy structure, the main parameters of the two-channel components are combined to quantify the correction factor according to the method.

[0088] ​​​​First, the multiple linear regression is calculated by least square method, and the bn=[0.25, 0.15, 0.3, 0.08, 0.12, 0.1] is obtained.

[0089] Second, the actual indexes of PT1 and PT2 are calculated: CH1=14.65925, CH2=18.47995.

[0090] Finally, the similarity coefficients are calculated: S11=S22=1, S12=S21=0.9486. The minimum element is 0.9486, and d=0.9486.

[0091] The sensor subsystem of the SIS is modeled according to the modeling method, as shown in Figure 12 , the model has only one CC node.

[0092] The difference between the actuator subsystem and the sensor subsystem is that the CC nodes increase, and the node channels increase, so the types of CCF also increase, as shown in Figure 13 , the CC nodes have 4, which represent the failure of no less than two actuators due to the same reason. It can be found that the difficulty of building a model increases with the complexity of the system structure.

[0093] Result analysis: The evaluation results of the 1oo2 redundant structure are shown in Figure 14 . The double combination of the PT1 channel forms the isomorphic redundant unit AA, and the double combination of the PT2 channel forms the isomorphic redundant unit BB. When the PT1 and PT2 channels are combined heterogeneously, the AB type redundant architecture is generated. Through analysis, it can be seen that the average failure probability of the AB type architecture is very small compared with the average failure probability of the AA type isomorphic redundant architecture, and the system SIL level reaches SIL3, but the BB type only reaches SIL2 level. Overall, this shows that the heterogeneous redundant structure has the greatest reliability improvement for 1oo2. The evaluation results of the 2oo2 redundant structure are shown in Figure 15 . The results show that the PFDavg value of the AB type structure is at the intermediate level of the AA structure and the BB structure. Therefore, the contribution of the heterogeneous redundant structure to the reliability improvement of the 2oo2 redundant structure is relatively limited.

[0094] By comparing the analysis results of the two structures, it can be found that the 1oo2 structure not only meets the SIL level requirements, but also effectively improves the system operation performance, forming an engineering implementation path that meets the safety specifications and has cost effectiveness, and has better reliability. If faced with equipment selection constraints and budget limitations, the heterogeneous redundant configuration of PT1 and PT2 can achieve a balance between technology and economy.

[0095] Figure 16The calculation results of the three-channel isomorphic redundancy structure. Among them, (a) is a 1oo3 architecture, (b) is a 2oo3 architecture. AAA is an isomorphic redundancy architecture constructed by three SDV1 channels, BBB is an isomorphic redundancy architecture constructed by three SDV2 channels, and CCC is an isomorphic redundancy architecture constructed by three same BV channels. The results show that for the three-module redundancy system of the execution unit, the 2oo3 architecture performs outstanding in running stability, and the 1oo3 architecture is more suitable for scenes with strict safety integrity level (SIL) requirements. It is worth noting that among existing homogeneous configuration schemes, only the AAA structure can meet the SIL level requirements, which provides a key decision basis for the selection and configuration of the execution unit Figure 17 The PFD of the heterogeneous redundancy structure is shown avg The analysis results show that, except for the BBC and BCC heterogeneous combination, other heterogeneous redundancy combinations can make the 1oo3 structure SIS meet the SIL level requirements, and the change range of the 2oo3 heterogeneous redundancy structure is smaller compared with it. Overall, the use of heterogeneous redundancy design can significantly improve the reliability of the three-channel heterogeneous redundancy structure SIS As shown in Figure 18 , the PFS value of the 1oo3 structure is shown in Figure 2 .14a, Figure 2 and the PFS value of the 2oo3 structure is shown in .14b. Compared with the double-channel redundancy structure, the availability of the three-channel redundancy structure SIS is greatly improved, and the availability of the 2oo3 structure is the best. Through the analysis of the results combined with engineering actual cases, it can be found that the SIL level and running stability of the heterogeneous redundancy SIS system are mainly restricted by the element failure rate, but the heterogeneous redundancy configuration can significantly improve the safety level and running stability of the safety instrument system.

[0096] The cost analysis is carried out taking the SIS as an example. By assuming that the cost components of each basic system are as shown in Table 2.3, and assuming that the PnoSIS of the system is 0.01: Figure 19 The life cycle cost of the SIS is calculated according to the formula. The cost of the 1oo3 structure is shown in Figure 20 . Figure 20 The cost of the 2oo3 structure is shown, where Figure 20 a is the operating cost, b is the total cost.

[0097] Figure 19 In the production and operation process, risk cost and failure cost are the main factors. Through the analysis of Figure 20The comparative analysis can know that, under the 1oo3 structure, the risk cost is at a higher level, which exceeds the system failure cost; and in the 2oo3 structure, the system failure cost presents a higher trend, which exceeds the risk cost.

[0098] The total cost of the 1oo3 configuration structure is significantly lower than that of the 2oo3 configuration structure. From the redundancy configuration, the cost of the AAC special-shaped redundancy configuration is slightly lower than that of the ABC special-shaped redundancy configuration. If the reliability and economic cost are considered, the AAC type 1oo3 structure SIS is selected.
