Development of Simulation Model for Performance Evaluation of Refining System in a Sugar Plant

Gaurav Sharma, Dr. Rajiv Khanduja

Abstract :

This paper deals with development of a simulation model for the performance evaluation of refining system of a sugar plant using Markov Birth–Death process and probabilistic approach. The refining system consists of four subsystems. After drawing transition diagram for refining system, differential equations are developed and then solved recursively using probabilistic approach. Then to predict the steady state availability i.e. measure of performance of refining system, normalizing conditions are used. Thus, availability simulation model has been developed. After that, the availability matrices and plots of failure/repair rates of all subsystems are prepared to decide the availability trends
