Method for computer-aided simulation of operating parameters of a technical system
First Claim
1. A method for computer-aided simulation of operating parameters of a technical system, the technical system comprising a plurality of modules which each contain one or more components, the method comprising:
- simulating operating parameters of the technical system, for the technical system being a fuel gasification of an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) facility, for a predetermined operating period by simulating failure events and associated downtimes for each component of a module within the predetermined operating period usinga first probability distribution for a moment of failure of each component, anda second probability distribution for a length of the failure of each component;
wherein a third probability distribution for a degree of reliability of each module is determined based upon the first and second probability distributions; and
wherein the simulating of the operating parameters of the technical system for the predetermined operating period is based upon the third probability distribution for the degree of reliability of each module.

Abstract
A method for computer-aided simulation of operating parameters of a technical system including a plurality of modules which each contain one or more components is provided. Failure events with associated downtimes for each component are simulated in a predetermined operating period using a first probability distribution for the moment of failure of the components and a second probability distribution for the length of the failure of the components, and a third probability distribution for a degree of reliability of the modules is determined. Based upon the probability distributions for the degrees of reliability of the modules, operating parameters of the technical system are simulated for the predetermined operating period. The method is used for any technical facilities, in particular for energy generation facilities.
