Análisis de fiabilidad del sistema de combustible de los motores Wartsila para disminuir la probabilidad de fallo en la Planta de Generación Eléctrica de la Empresa AGIP OIL Ecuador.

Abstract

The objective at the present work degree was to reduce the probability of occurrence of failure in the fuel system because the power generation plant works with a reliability level of 96% established by the organization. An integral evaluation of the system was carried out with which the current state of the system was determined. With the elaboration of the block diagram, reliability, failure tree of the system, calculation of probability of occurrence of failure contributed to this objective, thereby its operation and maintenance are optimized with objective and quantifiable actions that allow to address the failures of the equipment in the initial phases in which they are produced. Similarly contribute to the implementation of the management system of maintenance, without waste capital, or incur extraordinary costs. The total reliability of the system is 99.98%, due to the criticality of the fuel system and its impact on the generation of electric power, this value is acceptable, but not the ideal reason why it is necessary to raise this value and, in this way contribute to maintaining and improving the reliability established by the organization. Therefore, a reengineering of the fuel system is proposal to balance the load especially in the booster units and, thus decrease the probability of the failure.
