Contenu du cours
Nuclear power plants and power systems are very different systems. Yet their risk analysis is historically based on the same type of complementing approach: a deterministic approach in which safety criteria must be fulfilled in a set of predetermined situations; and a probabilistic approach to address the residual risk (and in the case of power systems, to account for the random nature of intermittent generation means).
Following general introductions to risk analysis of nuclear power plants as well as to power system reliability, the course will consist of a selection of seminars and practical sessions given by researchers and industrials. These activities will highlight various applications of probabilistic methods to risk analysis and performance enhancement of those large infrastructures.
