Simulation Methods for Reliability and Availability of Complex Systems discusses the use of computer simulation-based techniques and algorithms to determine reliability and availability (R and A) levels in complex systems. The book: shares theoretical or applied models and decision support systems that make use of simulation to estimate and to improve system R and A levels, forecasts emerging technologies and trends in the use of computer simulation for R and A and proposes hybrid approaches to the development of efficient methodologies designed to solve R and A-related problems in real-life systems. Dealing with practical issues, Simulation Methods for Reliability and Availability of Complex Systems is designed to support managers and system engineers in the improvement of R and A, as well as providing a thorough exploration of the techniques and algorithms available for researchers, and for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students.

This textbook introduces methods of accelerating transient stability (dynamic) simulation and electromagnetic transient simulation on massively parallel processors for large-scale AC-DC grids – two of the most common and computationally onerous studies done by energy control centers and research laboratories for the planning, design, and operation of such integrated grids for ensuring the security and reliability of electric power. Simulation case studies provided in the book range from small didactic test circuits to realistic-sized AC-DC grids, and special emphasis is placed on detailed device-level multi-physics models for power system equipment and decomposition techniques for simulating large-scale systems. Parallel Dynamic and Transient Simulation of Large-Scale Power Systems: A High Performance Computing Solution is a comprehensive state-of-the-art guide for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in power systems engineering. Practicing engineers, software developers, and scientists working in the power and energy industry will find it to be a timely and valuable reference for solving potential problems in their design and development activities. Detailed device-level electro-thermal modeling for power electronic systems in DC grids; Provides comprehensive dynamic and transient simulation of integrated large-scale AC-DC grids; Offers detailed models of renewable energy system models.

Our work on simulation methodology begins with the formulation of a model as a stochastic process. We then use the structure of the stochastic process to develop methods for analyzing the output of the simulation. Diagram 1 is a block diagram which details our approach to system simulation. The performance evaluation and reliability analysis of complex engineering systems requires an ability to analyze mathematical models of these systems. Large scale stochastic models are required to handle various uncertainties present in these systems. Unfortunately, the complexity of most stochastic models of real systems is well beyond our ability to apply classical mathematical analysis. Computer simulation of stochastic systems has become one of the principal alternatives to classical analysis. The main thrust of our research is improving the efficiency of simulation methods and extending their applicability to wider class of stochastic systems. We also carry out research on a variety of stochastic models with the aim of obtaining closed form solutions or approximations.

The economic performance of power plants have received significant notice in today’s modern world. An important parameter that remain as the key performance indicator of power plants of modern times is the plant availability. The out-dated layouts ,components and fuel systems designed of olden times built during plant establishment periods are subject to modifications in terms of configurations ,plant size ,retrofit , renovations and fuel systems with the objective of enhanced economic performance and improved plant availability .In today’s world of depleting energy resources, the importance for energy conservation policies and frame works are high and the outlook towards economic performance of plants and their reliability and availability after process system modifications is highly specific . This book presents the impact of the modifications done in De-Super heater and Flame Burner System of a Boiler during conversion from Oil fired to LNG fired system on the process system value of 7MW Captive power plant of a fertilizer process industry .It also examines the criticality of LNG price variation on the modified processes.First Law Efficiency analysis and Second law efficiency anaylsis are also done on major components of the captive power plant and results are analyzed before and after modifications.
