  9. Reliability Definition Actual operating hours divided by expected operating hours Doug Preddy, Triumf Availability = Time_Operational / Total_Time Reliability = Time_Operational / Total_Time + Down_Time Reda Tafirout, Triumf Time is a very important part of the reliability definition: Expected uptime, repair and maintenance times, idle time, and unplanned occurrences all [contribute] Experience is one of the main influences [in improving reliability] Accelerator Reliability Workshop 2009

  10. Other Talks … ~ 50% relevant to CERN = interesting points …. … Two / Three sentence of each … • BASIC RELIABILITY THEORY • FAULTS and RELIABILITY in the OPERATION of PLS • JLAB / NSCL EXPERIENCE to DATE & AVAILABILITY • LESSONS LEARNED from 16 YEARS HERA OPERATION • JEFFERSON LAB REFURBISHMENTS and UPGRADES • GENERAL RELIABILITY at RHIC • ADAPTIVE MAINTENANCE based on RELIABILITY • POST-MORTEM DIAGNOSIS for TAIWAN LIGHT SOURCE • HUMAN PERFORMANCE • MAINTAININGRELIABILITY : TRIUMF POWER INTERRUPTIONS • SNS MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT at SNS • TRIUMF RADAITION RELIABILITY ISSUES Etc… Accelerator Reliability Workshop 2009

  11. LHC Reliability Quantify Baseline LHC reliability? hours of machine operation expected in a year. Time @ Physics? luminosity @ physics? Lum. + Energy + Time? Assign $ value to unforeseen stoppages? institutes assign 25-100k$ lost per hour of unforeseen stoppages. Risk of sudden floor fracture? LHC dipoles masses = LEP? floor designed to hold weight? Root Cause Analysis for every failure? complete understanding (mitigations) for all faults. TAPROOT. Reliability DB for failure tracking? Weibull mechanism = very good scope for failure tracking. CERN repository of proven design practices? influence future designs – at CERN – beyond LHC. Accelerator Reliability Workshop 2009

  12. RF / PCs / Cooling RF, Powering and Cooling Reliability = weaknesses everyone is fighting. How reliable are these in LHC? Documents / FMEA / Calculations made? Built for ‘Maintainability’? Preventive Maintenance Scheduled? N.B. Running through a shutdown = NO preventive maintenance… Hot-Swappable Equipment? Environmental Monitoring? Of buildings which house PCs and Heavy Machinery Air Flow Models? Model air flow? Or trial-and-error? Or rule-of-thumb? Diversity of Staff? For all equipment = more than one expert = several experts. Accelerator Reliability Workshop 2009

  13. Collaborations work done by CERN duplicated in other labs, and vice versa SLAC Hot Swap Power Converter technology? involved in ATCA? VME replacement bus architecture 0.99999 reliable Considering RIOC? redundant IO channel for RIOC and others Certified ‘logbook’ software SJ Soft? 10/9 logbook erased… ORNL should see MTF and EDMS CERN should advertise the RADMON CERN could help TRIUMF with cables for radiation Accelerator Reliability Workshop 2009

  14. 1. ARW Overview • Who? • Where? • What 2. Relevant Outcomes • Accelerator Community • CERN • Machine Protection 3. Personal Opinion Accelerator Reliability Workshop 2009

  15. Personal Opinion subjective! • LHC MPS Dependability Analysis beyond anyone else’s • No-one showed anything close • No-one mentioned anything after my talks • Right people may not have been there • Next Gen (ILC etc) starting with reliability specification • CERN’s work = very relevant • Extend LHC MPS Study = beyond safety • let’s figure out what LHC reliability could be • Human Factor’s = Very Interesting • Humans Operating – Man-Machine Interface • Humans Designing – team-work, design is always subjective • Operator Screens for example, should be considering ‘Human Factors’ Accelerator Reliability Workshop 2009

  16. More Personal Opinion VERY subjective! • September 10th • Quite a few questions in coffee times • Cost of repair > some institute’s annual budget… • Some knew more than me about what happened… • N.B Lessons learned are THE method for improving systems. • One thing which troubles me: • US = Department of Energy is there… • CAN = Nuclear Regulation for everything… • we are lucky… So far… No hands on regulation… Accelerator Reliability Workshop 2009

  17. Next Steps Much higher CERN involvement in next Accelerator Reliability Workshop? In taking account of many aspects such as: Software Interlocks, Post-Mortem, EDH, EDMS, MTF, Powering, Cooling, Radiation Management, Personnel Safety, Logging, Analysis, Human Interface … Dedicated session to safety systems should be foreseen rest of industry fighting same battles => future projects (ILC, CLIC, ITER) need the same / similar systems. Workshop partnered with Workshop on Accelerator Operations (WAO) WAO 2010 is next ARW 2011? Could be organised by CERN? Accelerator Reliability Workshop 2009
