Short description
The module applies knowledge of risk analysis specifically in power industry, starting with advantages and effectiveness of its application. It presents the regulatory basis and requirements, and elaborates commonly used methods through a number of examples. It covers the state-of-the art knowledge of risk based approaches currently applied in power generation industries to the wide range of professionals involved in different activities in conventional power generation. Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) are methodologies used for the logical decision-making process of analysis and definition of the equipment maintenance requirements, as well as for accident prevention. Practical examples with the state-of-the art tools are applied by the student in terms of self-study and independent work.

Objectives
In the end of the module students are expected to:
- understand procedure for risk-based inspection and maintenance as defined for European industry by CEN CWA 15740:2008
- present damage mechanisms specific for power industry
- quote inspection techniques as used in power industry and their effectiveness
- understand principles and conditions for life and risk assessment
- understand importance of quality assurance program in mitigation or reduction of risks in power industry
- be able to modelize consequences on different level of risk assessment
- be able to assess likelihood using statistical and API approach
- recognize and understand most common damage mechanisms present in power plants
- be able to select inspection and monitoring strategy aimed to reduce risks
- differentiate a trendable from a non-trendable damage mechanisms
- have a critical point of view on how reliable NDT techniques are and what are influencing factors
