PLASMA (Renewable Industry)

General:-

• Powerful visual interface with simple drag and drop techniques;
• Deterministic and stochastic techniques;
• Series, Active Redundancy (Full, Partial or Conditional) and Standby Redundancy (Identical units or Different units);
• Control of the sizing of parallel units as a function of time (i.e. varying levels of effective redundancy);
• Load Sharing;
• Availability;
• System or component importance ranking; It enables the user to identify the systems or components that are the main contributors to Unavailability, Total Down Time, Cost, Safety Criticality, Asset Criticality and Environmental Criticality;
• Modelling complex systems using multiple layers of RBDs.

Maintenance modelling:-

• Unscheduled, Delayed (e.g. seasonal);
• Maintenance duration and restoration factors;
• Maintenance policies;
• Planned;
• Condition monitoring;
• Opportunity maintenance;
• Services and utilities;
• Job priority;
• Spare parts pools.

Logistics

• Iconic animation (moving ships, etc.);
• Operations details of shuttles;
• Maintenance Vessel;
• Weather Module:- Location (reference to geographical location of shuttle loading facility)
• Seasons (default given for Northern Hemisphere)
• Weather Data Matrix (comprising cumulative probability of nominated wave heights per season and the associated average of occurrence of this range)

Other modelling details

• Variable Energy production;
• Sub-system or pagination facilities for large Reliability Block Diagrams;
• Import and export facilities;
• Control of phasing-in and phasing-out of any part of the logic network;Interface with Excel spreadsheets. Effectively allowing the user to export and import data to and from other spreadsheets;
• General failure behaviour of an equipment i.e. bathtub curve.
