System and method for forming failure estimates for a heat recovery steam generator

摘要

A method of forming a failure estimate for one or more components of a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) includes forming from failure models and at least one of fired hours and fired starts, factored hours and factored starts. The factored hours and/or starts are applied to failure equations for the one or more components to form the failure estimate.

1. A computer implemented method of forming a failure estimate for one or more components of a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), the method comprising:
receiving at a computing device, failure models for one or more components of the HRSG; receiving an indication of one or both of fired hours and fired starts of a turbine to which the HRSG is coupled as part of a scorecard; forming from the failure models and at least one of the received indication of fired hours and fired starts, at least one of factored hours and factored starts; receiving failure equations for the one or more components; and forming the failure estimate by applying at least one of the factored hours and the factored starts to the failure equations.
