Energy systems
Functional analysis
Background
Good performance of a project begins with a clear definition of the requirements. Installation of a back-up generator, new equipment or a new simulation tool, for a company or on an industrial site, requires that a Specification document be written for the supplier beforehand.
Requirement
To be exhaustive, precise and quantified, the Specification must be compiled using a clear method. The characteristics specified often require a detailed analysis of all the environmental variables and specification of all the functionalities associated with the requirement, without which the supplied product will risk being unsuitable.
Principle :
Through consideration of the special characteristics belonging to the field of electricity grids and systems, the functional analyses carried out by Capsim employ standardized analysis tools.
Results
In particular, they can:
- exhaustively define the functional requirements that must be fulfilled by a system, at its design stage (external analysis)
- use the specified characteristics of a product to produce a Specification to send to the supplier
- measure the suitability of a system or a solution for the functions that it is required to perform and identify any deviations from these (internal analysis)
- prepare a reliability analysis or a failure mode analysis (FMECA)
