Course description
The course presents the essential elements of the activities related to functional safety studies applied to Safety Instrumented System on H2 plants, with particular attention to their integration with the management processes during the life cycle of plants. It includes the presentation of case study of H2 plant. The main topics are:
- Introduction to the international standard IEC EN 61508
- Hazard identification and SIL level allocation: Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF), hazard identification, SIL allocation techniques (qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative methods, with emphasis on the Graph Method and LOPA technique)
- Verification and demonstration of SIL levels for E/E/EP type safety-instrumented systems (electrical, electronic, programmable electronic): introduction to tools for evaluating architectural/functional parameters (Safe Failure Fraction and Hardware Fault Tolerance) and probabilistic parameters (Probability of Failure on Demand and Failure Frequencies)
- Overview of the application of the standard in the operation, maintenance, modification and decommissioning
About 30% of the training time is dedicate to guided analysis of case studies. During the course, delegates are invited to carry out small asynchronous tasks to self-evaluate their own learning
