Abstract
A finite volume (FV) scheme is proposed in order to compute different probabilistic measures for systems from dynamic reliability field. The FV scheme is tested on a small but realistic benchmark case stemmed from gas industry [Labeau PE, Dutuit Y. Fiabilité dynamique et disponibilité de production: un cas illustratif. Proceedings of λμλμ 14, Bourges, France, vol. 2. 2004. p. 431–6 [in French]]. The point is to compute the production availability and the annual frequency of loss of nominal production (among other quantities) for a system of gas production. The results of the FV method are compared to those obtained by Monte Carlo simulation, showing the accuracy of the method.
