Reliability analysis of the diesel generators
Description
The Operating Experience of the Diesel generators of the Italian Nuclear Power Plants has been analysed, in order to evaluate their quality level in comparison with the requirements defined in the design and to identify possible improving measures to be implemented both on operating and under construction plants. The collected data have been classified and elaborated, with the purpose to evaluate availability on demand and reliability in operation for each diesel. A comparison between the calculated reliability parameters and the corresponding international ones was also performed. Recurring failure modes were specifically analysed. In addition, an analysis of homogeneity for the diesels of the same plant and of all the plants is reported as well. In such a way, some critical subsystems of DGs has been identified. Moreover hardware modifications and surveillance program improvements have been found out, such to ensure better performance of the on-site electric power system
