Abstract

An information system for handling equipment failure information of fossil fuel plants is described. This system produces 33 different reports, which contain failure statistics, plant availability, unavailability classified by cause, plant reliability indices, and maintenance productivity indices. Some of the innovations introduced by this system are: (1) event partition into any number of subevents for accurate description of event evolution, (2) separation of equipment and event cause for easy reporting, and (3) failure-mode information for better event description.<>
