Abstract
A method for determining the life cycle of a power station component is provided. The method includes the following steps: definition of a first characteristic for the life cycle of a power station component at a constant output, definition of a second characteristic for the life cycle of the power station component at a variable output, definition of a first equivalence rule as a function from an actual time parameter, definition of a second equivalence rule wherein the pre-defined operation of the power station component at the variable output in accordance with a plurality of second characteristics is depicted, determination of the numbers of first and second characteristics that are generated during the actual operation of the power station, determination of the sum of the numbers of first and second characteristics, and assessment of the life cycle of the power station component using the determined sum.

10. A method for determining the life cycle of a power station component, comprising:
-
defining a first characteristic for the life cycle of the power station component at a constant output; defining a second characteristic for the life cycle of the power station component at a variable output; defining a first equivalence rule as a function of an actual time parameter, an operating parameter of the power station component and a weighting wherein a pre-defined operation of the power station component at a constant output relative to a plurality of first characteristics is depicted; defining a second equivalence rule wherein the pre-defined operation of the power station component at the variable output in accordance with a plurality of second characteristics is depicted; determining the plurality of first characteristics and the plurality of second characteristics generated during an actual operation of the power station; determining a sum of the plurality of first characteristics and the plurality of second characteristics; and assessing the life cycle of the power station component using the determined sum. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
