Profit analysis of the boiler unit in coal-fired power plant using RPGT

In the present paper, we describethe boiler unit of a coal-fired thermal power plant. The boiler unit consists of five subsystems arranged in series and parallel based configurations. A single repairman who examines and repairs the units as and when need emerge. Availability of boiler unit in coal-fired plant is determined with the assistance of RPGT and accessibility of the arrangement of boiler unit for various values of repair and failure rates of subsystems is additionally determined. Profit optimization is discussed with the help of graph and table.
