Reliability Review and Analysis of the Open-Cycle Fuel-Cell Power Plant

Abstract

The report presents the results of a reliability review and analysis of two competing open-cycle fuel-dell designs. A mathematical model is presented which allows for evaluating the reliability of the designs. A failure modes and effects analysis is presented for each of the proposed designs. A prediction of the reliability and availability of each of the competing designs is presented.
