Benefits

This course offers 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. It goes deeper in risk sources including specific damage mechanisms and elaborates methods and tools applied.

In the end of course students will know

• what levels of risk assessment are
• to model consequences on different level of risk assessment
• to assess likelihood using statistical and API approach
• most common damage mechanisms present in power plants
• to select inspection and monitoring strategy aimed to reduce risks
• to optimize inspection plan and use inspection results in the risk management process of a power plant.
