文摘安全隐患、未遂事故等异常事件是小事故升级为重大事故的早期预警,可用来建立事故模型识别源头事件及纠正保护系统中的不安全因素。结合液化天然气(LNG)库区的工艺特点和事故特征,对系统危害辨识、预测及预防(system hazard identification,prediction and prevention,SHIPP)模型改进,提出一种将故障树、贝叶斯网络与A-star算法融合的风险评估建模方法。首先依托专家经验,结合事故报警数据库中的异常事件建立安全屏障模型和故障树;然后遵循链式法则将故障树映射为贝叶斯网络;最后与改进的A-star算法融合确定事故发生途径。基于LNG事故报警数据库的研究表明,该方法相较于传统的SHIPP模型,可以实现动态前向风险评估并量化事故之间的条件概率,反向模拟安全屏障失效时的事故发生过程。研究成果可为LNG库区的系统安全、风险规避提供合理设计及决策。
