Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of nuclear power technology, and in particular to a modeling method and apparatus for a reliability model of a nuclear power unit. Background Technology

[0002] Nuclear power unit reliability generally refers to the ability of a nuclear power unit to continuously and stably generate electricity and meet relevant performance indicators under specified operating conditions and within a specified operating time. Its core lies in measuring the unit's ability to resist faults, avoid unplanned shutdowns and outages, and maintain stable operation under normal operation and anticipated transient conditions. To assess the reliability level of a nuclear power unit, a reliability model needs to be established. Based on this model, the probability of a shutdown or outage due to random equipment failures during power operation can be calculated, identifying key equipment affecting the reliability of the nuclear power unit. Therefore, by developing reliability improvement measures for key equipment, the number of shutdowns and outages caused by random equipment failures can be reduced, and the downtime can be decreased, thereby improving the reliability of the nuclear power unit.

[0003] In traditional techniques, an undesirable failure event is usually taken as the object of analysis. Through a strict top-down hierarchical failure causal logic analysis, the necessary and sufficient direct causes of the failure event are identified layer by layer, and a fault tree or reliability block diagram is drawn to obtain a reliability model.

[0004] For systems / equipment with relatively simple structures, this reliability modeling method can directly identify all possible causes leading to the top event. However, nuclear power units contain tens of thousands of devices, and using traditional reliability modeling methods requires extensive manual failure mode and effects analysis, resulting in low modeling efficiency.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application can be used to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the first element from the second element. The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, used in this application, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The term "multiple" used in this application refers to two or more. The term "and / or" used in this application refers to one of the embodiments, or any combination of multiple embodiments.

[0038] The modeling method for the reliability model of nuclear power units provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 In the application environment shown, terminal 102 communicates with server 104 via a network. A data storage system can store the data that server 104 needs to process. The data storage system can be integrated onto server 104, or it can be located in the cloud or on other network servers. Terminal 102 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Server 104 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud computing services.

[0039] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a modeling method for the reliability model of a nuclear power unit is provided, and this method is applied to... Figure 1 Taking the terminal in the example, the explanation includes the following steps 201 to 203. Wherein:

[0040] Step 201: Obtain system data tags from the reliability modeling database, and establish the fault logic relationship between the system and the nuclear power unit based on the system data tags to obtain the unit-level reliability model.

[0041] A nuclear power unit comprises multiple systems, each containing multiple devices. The reliability modeling database stores system data tags for each system, pre-determined based on the system's design information. As shown in Table 1, the system data tags include system definition items and system fault logic relationship definition items. It is also understood that the system data tags may include a system identifier, with each system corresponding to a unique system identifier.

[0042] Table 1 System Data Tags

[0043]

[0044] The system definition field is a label used to indicate whether a system is reliability-related or non-reliability-related. If a system's system data label indicates that the system is reliability-related, it means that a failure in this system during the nuclear power unit's operation at full power will affect the reliability of the nuclear power unit. If a system's system data label indicates that the system is non-reliability-related, it means that a failure in this system during the nuclear power unit's operation at full power will not affect the reliability of the nuclear power unit.

[0045] The system fault logic relationship definition field is a label used to indicate whether the fault relationship between the system and the nuclear power unit is series, parallel, or voting. If the system fault logic relationship definition field in a system's system data label is series, it means that a fault in that system will directly lead to a nuclear power unit fault. If the system fault logic relationship definition field in a system's system data label is parallel, it means that if a fault in that system occurs, other backup systems can still perform the same function, and a nuclear power unit fault will only occur if both that system and its backup systems fail. If the system fault logic relationship definition field in a system's system data label is voting, it means that there is a voting relationship between that system and the nuclear power unit, and a voting process is required to determine whether a fault in that system will lead to a nuclear power unit fault.

[0046] It should be noted that if the system fault logic relationship definition item in the system data label of a system is parallel, then the system fault logic relationship definition item also includes the system identifier of the backup system; if the system fault logic relationship definition item in the system data label of a system is voting, then the system fault logic relationship definition item also includes the system identifier of the voting system participating in the voting.

[0047] In one possible implementation, if the system definition item indicates that the system is a reliability-related system, then a fault logic relationship between the system and the nuclear power unit is established; if the system definition item indicates that the system is a non-reliability-related system, then it is not necessary to establish a fault logic relationship between the system and the nuclear power unit. Establishing the fault logic relationship between the system and the nuclear power unit includes: if the system fault logic relationship definition item is in series, then the fault logic relationship between the system and the nuclear power unit is set as an OR gate; if the system fault logic relationship definition item is in parallel, then the fault logic relationship between the system and the nuclear power unit is set as an AND gate; if the system fault logic relationship definition item is voting, then the fault logic relationship between the system and the nuclear power unit is set as a voting gate.

[0048] It is understandable that a nuclear power unit comprises multiple systems, requiring the above operations to be performed on the system data tags corresponding to each system within the unit. In one example, refer to... Figure 3As shown, the process retrieves the i-th system data tag from the reliability modeling database for identification. Based on the system definition item in the i-th system data tag, it identifies whether the system is a reliability-related system. If not, it executes i=i+1 and returns to the step of retrieving the i-th system data tag from the reliability modeling database for identification. If yes, it establishes the fault logic relationship between the system and the nuclear power unit. It then determines whether i is greater than or equal to N. If i is greater than or equal to N, it means that all system data tags have been identified, and the fault logic relationship between each system and the nuclear power unit is obtained, which is the unit-level reliability model. If i is less than N, it means that there are still unidentified system data tags. Therefore, it executes i=i+1 and returns to the step of retrieving the i-th system data tag from the reliability modeling database for identification. Here, i is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N; N is a positive integer, equal to the number of systems in the nuclear power unit.

[0049] Step 202: Associate the device diagram in the system flowchart with the device data tags in the reliability modeling database, and establish the fault relationships of the devices based on the device data tags to obtain the system-level reliability model.

[0050] The reliability modeling database also stores system flowcharts for each system of the nuclear power unit, as well as equipment data tags for each device, pre-determined based on their configuration within the system. The system flowcharts consist of multiple device diagrams arranged in the order they were drawn, each diagram corresponding to a unique device identifier. The equipment data tags include at least one of the following definitions: device definition, device fault logic relationship definition, device common cause fault relationship definition, and device support system definition.

[0051] As shown in Table 2, the equipment data tag includes equipment definition items, equipment fault logic relationship definition items, equipment common cause fault relationship definition items, and equipment supporting system definition items. Of course, it can be understood that the equipment data tag may also include the system identifier of the system to which the equipment belongs and the equipment identifier.

[0052] Table 2 Equipment Data Labels

[0053]

[0054] The equipment definition field is a label used to indicate whether a device is reliability-related or non-reliability-related. If a device's equipment data label indicates that it is reliability-related, it means that a failure of this device during the operation of the nuclear power unit at full power will affect the reliability of the nuclear power unit. If a device's equipment data label indicates that it is non-reliability-related, it means that a failure of this device during the operation of the nuclear power unit at full power will not affect the reliability of the nuclear power unit.

[0055] The equipment failure logic relationship definition field is a label used to indicate whether the failure relationship between the equipment and the system is series, parallel, or voting. If the equipment failure logic relationship definition field in a device's equipment data label is series, it means that a failure of this device will directly lead to a system failure. If the equipment failure logic relationship definition field in a device's equipment data label is parallel, it means that if other backup equipment performs the same function, a system failure will only occur if both the device and its backup equipment fail. If the equipment failure logic relationship definition field in a device's equipment data label is voting, it means that the device and the system meet a certain voting relationship, and a voting process is required to determine whether a failure of this device will lead to another failure.

[0056] It should be noted that if the equipment fault logic relationship definition item in the equipment data tag of a device is parallel, then the equipment fault logic relationship definition item also includes the system identifier of the backup device; if the equipment fault logic relationship definition item in the equipment data tag of a device is voting, then the equipment fault logic relationship definition item also includes the device identifier of the device participating in the voting.

[0057] The Equipment Common Cause Failure Relationship Definition is a label used to indicate whether an equipment is a common cause failure device or a non-common cause failure device. If the Equipment Common Cause Failure Relationship Definition in the Equipment Data Label indicates that the equipment is a common cause failure device, it means that the equipment may cause the nuclear power unit to fail due to the same reason. For example, if both Equipment B1 and Equipment B2 use a batch of material D with quality problems produced by a certain manufacturer, and the quality problems of material D will cause the nuclear power unit to fail, then both Equipment B1 and Equipment B2 are common cause failure devices.

[0058] It should be noted that if the equipment common cause failure relationship definition item indicates that the equipment is a common cause failure device, then the equipment common cause failure relationship definition item also includes the common cause failure order and the equipment identifier of the common cause device that has a common cause failure relationship with this equipment.

[0059] The Device Support System Definition item is a tag used to indicate whether a device has a support system or not. If the Device Support System Definition item in a device's device data tag indicates that the device has a support system, it means that the device needs other support systems to complete the specified functions. Conversely, if the Device Support System Definition item indicates that the device does not have a support system, it means that the device does not need other support systems to complete the specified functions.

[0060] It should be noted that if a device's device data tag indicates that the device has a supporting system definition, then the device supporting system definition also includes the system identifier of the supporting system and the device identifier of the boundary device. The boundary device refers to the device in the supporting system used to support the device in performing its specified functions.

[0061] In one possible implementation, if the device definition indicates that the device is a reliability-related device, then a fault relationship is established for the device; if the device definition indicates that the device is a non-reliability-related device, then no fault relationship needs to be established for the device. The fault relationship of the device includes at least one of the following: a fault logic relationship between the device and the system, a common-cause fault relationship between the device and common-cause devices, and a fault logic relationship between the device and support systems and boundary devices.

[0062] In one example, establishing device fault relationships includes: if the device fault logic relationship definition is serial, then the fault logic relationship between the device and the system is set as an OR gate; serial means that a device fault leads to a system fault; if the device fault logic relationship definition is parallel, then the fault logic relationship between the device and the system is set as an AND gate; parallel means that both the device and its backup device fail, leading to a system fault; if the device fault logic relationship definition is voting, then the fault logic relationship between the device and the system is set as a voting gate; voting means that a voting method is used to determine whether a device will cause a system fault; if the device common-cause fault relationship definition indicates that the device is a common-cause fault device, then the common-cause devices of the device are obtained, and a common-cause fault relationship between the device and the common-cause devices is established; if the device support system definition indicates that the device has a support system, then the support system and the boundary devices in the support system used to support the device are obtained, and a fault logic relationship between the device and the support system and the boundary devices is established.

[0063] It should be noted that for devices whose fault logic relationship definition is parallel and voting, in order to avoid redundant modeling, when establishing the fault logic relationship between devices and the system, related devices (standby devices, devices participating in voting) should be grouped together under the same logic gate.

[0064] It is understandable that a nuclear power unit comprises multiple systems, and each system contains multiple devices. After obtaining the system-level reliability model, the above operations need to be performed on each device within each system. In one example, refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3As shown, the k-th system is selected for modeling. The system flowchart corresponding to the k-th system is retrieved from the reliability modeling database. The system flowchart is scanned according to the drawing order of multiple device diagrams in the flowchart, associating multiple device identifiers in the flowchart with multiple device data tags in the reliability modeling database to achieve a one-to-one correspondence between device diagrams and device data tags. The j-th device data tag is selected from the system flowchart corresponding to the k-th system. Based on the j-th device data tag, it is identified whether the device is a reliability-related device. If not, j = j + 1 is executed, and the process returns to the step of selecting the j-th device data tag from the system flowchart corresponding to the k-th system. If yes, the fault logic relationship between the device and the system, the common-cause fault relationship between the device and common-cause devices, and the fault logic relationship between the device and support systems and boundary devices are established. It is determined whether j is greater than or equal to M. If j is less than M, it indicates that there are still unidentified device data tags. Therefore... Execute `j = j + 1` and return to the step of selecting the data tag of the j-th device from the system flowchart corresponding to the k-th system. If `j` is greater than or equal to `M`, it means that the device data tags of all devices corresponding to the k-th system have been identified. At this point, check if `k` is greater than or equal to `N`. If `k` is less than `N`, it means that there are still unmodeled systems. Therefore, execute `k + 1` and return to the step of selecting the k-th system for modeling. If `k` is greater than or equal to `N`, it means that all systems have been modeled. At this point, the fault relationships of each device in each system are obtained, which is the system-level reliability model. Here, `k` is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to `N`; `N` is a positive integer equal to the number of systems in the nuclear power unit. `j` is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to `M`; `M` is a positive integer equal to the number of devices in the k-th system.

[0065] Step 203: Integrate the unit-level reliability model and the system-level reliability model to obtain the reliability model of the nuclear power unit.

[0066] Among them, the reliability model of nuclear power units can reflect the fault logic relationship between the system and the nuclear power unit, the fault relationship between equipment, and the fault relationship between equipment and the system.

[0067] For example, by binding the fault logic relationship between the i-th system and the nuclear power unit in the unit-level reliability model and the fault logic relationship of each device in the i-th system in the system-level reliability model with the system flowchart of the i-th system, the resulting nuclear power unit reliability model can achieve the following function: by clicking the relevant icons on the system flowchart of the i-th system, the relevant fault logic relationship can be directly displayed on the system flowchart.

[0068] The aforementioned modeling method for the reliability model of nuclear power units obtains system data tags from a reliability modeling database, establishes fault logic relationships between the system and the nuclear power unit based on these system data tags, and obtains a unit-level reliability model. Then, it associates the equipment diagrams in the corresponding system flowchart with the equipment data tags in the reliability modeling database, and establishes fault relationships between the equipment based on these tags, thus obtaining a system-level reliability model. Finally, it integrates the unit-level reliability model and the system-level reliability model to obtain the overall reliability model of the nuclear power unit. In this way, through system flowcharts, system data tags, and equipment data tags, automated modeling of the nuclear power unit's reliability model is achieved, improving modeling efficiency and accuracy compared to traditional reliability modeling methods.

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, the reliability modeling database is periodically scanned to obtain updated information about the reliability modeling database; based on the updated information, the reliability model is updated to obtain the updated reliability model.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the system data tags and device data tags in the reliability modeling database are periodically scanned to obtain updated information, such as newly added system data tags and newly added device data tags. Based on this updated information, the reliability model is updated; the specific steps can be found in steps 201-203 above.

[0071] In this embodiment, by periodically scanning the reliability modeling database and updating the reliability model based on the update information in the reliability modeling database, dynamic updating of the reliability model of the nuclear power unit is realized.

[0072] The above describes the modeling process of the reliability model for nuclear power units. The following section will explain the sources of the data used in the reliability modeling process.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the method further includes: determining, based on the system's design information, whether a system failure affects the reliability of the nuclear power unit; if so, setting the system definition item in the system data tag corresponding to the system as a reliability-related system; if not, setting the system definition item in the system data tag corresponding to the system as a non-reliability-related system.

[0074] like Figure 4As shown, select a system in a nuclear power unit. Based on the system's design information, determine whether a fault in this system during the nuclear power unit's power operation will affect the reliability of the nuclear power unit. If yes, set the system definition item in the system data label of the corresponding system in the reliability modeling database to a reliability-related system. If no, set the system definition item in the system data label of the corresponding system in the reliability modeling database to a non-reliability-related system. Determine if there are any other systems that need to be defined. If no, it means that the system data labeling has been completed. If yes, return to the step of selecting a system in a nuclear power unit.

[0075] When the system is a reliability-related system, it is also necessary to set the system fault logic relationship definition item in the system data tag corresponding to the system based on the system design information. Specifically, according to the system design information, if a system fault directly leads to a nuclear power unit fault, the system fault logic relationship definition item is set to series; if a system fault still has other backup systems performing the same function, and the nuclear power unit fault is only caused by the simultaneous failure of this system and all its backup systems, the system fault logic relationship definition item is set to parallel; if a system fault and a nuclear power unit fault conform to a certain voting relationship, the system fault logic relationship definition item is set to voting.

[0076] It should be noted that when the system fault logic relationship definition item is parallel and voting, the relevant systems should also be associated. That is, the system identifier of the standby system and the system identifier of the voting system participating in the voting should be recorded in the system fault logic relationship definition item. Please refer to Table 1 above.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, the method further includes: determining, based on the equipment's design information, whether a equipment failure affects the reliability of the nuclear power unit; if so, setting the equipment definition item in the equipment data tag corresponding to the equipment as a reliability-related device; if not, setting the equipment definition item in the equipment data tag corresponding to the equipment as a non-reliability-related device. When the equipment is a reliability-related device, at least one definition item in the equipment data tag corresponding to the equipment is set according to the equipment's configuration in the system. The at least one definition item includes at least one of an equipment failure logic relationship definition item, an equipment common cause failure relationship definition item, and an equipment support system definition item.

[0078] like Figure 5As shown, a system is selected, and a device is selected from this system. Based on the design information of the device, it is determined whether a failure of this device during the operation of the nuclear power unit will affect the reliability of the nuclear power unit. If yes, the device definition item in the device data tag corresponding to the device in the reliability modeling database is set to a reliability-related device. If no, the device definition item in the device data tag corresponding to the device in the reliability modeling database is set to a non-reliability-related device. It is then determined whether there are other devices in the selected system that need to be defined. If there are other devices that need to be defined, the process returns to the step of selecting a device from the selected system. If there are no other devices that need to be defined, it is determined whether there are other systems in the nuclear power unit that need to be defined. If yes, the process returns to the step of selecting a system. If no, it indicates that the device data tag setting is complete.

[0079] When the device is a reliability-related device, the device fault logic relationship definition item, device common cause fault relationship definition item, and device support system definition item in the device data tag corresponding to the device are set according to the device's configuration in the system.

[0080] Specifically, based on the equipment's configuration within the system, the logical relationship between equipment failures and system failures is identified. If a equipment failure directly leads to a system failure, the equipment failure logical relationship definition item is set to series. If a equipment failure occurs, but other backup equipment still performs the same function, and a system failure only occurs when the equipment and all backup equipment fail simultaneously, the equipment failure logical relationship definition item is set to parallel. If a device failure and a system failure conform to a voting relationship, the equipment failure logical relationship definition item is set to voting. It should be noted that when the equipment failure logical relationship definition item is parallel or voting, related equipment must also be associated. That is, the equipment identifier of the backup equipment and the equipment identifier of the voting equipment participating in the voting are recorded in the failure logical relationship definition item, as shown in Table 2.

[0081] Based on the device's configuration in the system, identify whether the device shares a common cause fault with other devices. If the device shares a common cause fault with other devices, set the device common cause fault relationship definition item to "common cause fault device," and determine the common cause fault order and the related devices (i.e., the common cause devices mentioned above). Record the common cause fault order and the device identifier of the common cause device in the device common cause fault relationship definition item. If the device does not share a common cause fault with other devices, set the device common cause fault relationship definition item to "non-common cause fault device," as shown in Table 2.

[0082] Determine whether the device requires other support systems to complete the specified functions; if yes, set the device support system definition item to "has support system" and record the system identifier of the support system and the device identifier of the boundary device in the device support system definition item; if no, set the device support system definition item to "no support system", as shown in Table 2.

[0083] In addition, failure mode and effects analysis can be carried out for each system / equipment of the nuclear power unit. Based on the results of the failure mode and effects analysis, a comprehensive analysis can be conducted in conjunction with the design of the nuclear power unit system / equipment. The reliability model of the nuclear power unit can be established from top to bottom and level by level using the traditional fault tree modeling method.
