Survivability of chilled water networks on board ships when using dincs
conference paper
Fast reaction is required when a chilled water distribution network on board a naval ship is damaged. Without immediate isolation of the leakage area, all water supply is lost soon, with immense consequences for the ship’s operational state. The only solution for that is using an automated recovery approach. Recently, the effectiveness of automatic recovering a chilled water network from damage has been analysed on the basis of computer simulations. To this end, three software packages have been combined. This concerns a vulnerability analysis, flow analysis and determination of leakage positions and choice of recovery actions. The simulation results show that preventing fatal emptying of the distribution network can be realised. Moreover, maintaining and restoring water supply to undamaged parts of the network can be achieved to a large extent automatically. The effectiveness of the recovery mechanism is measured on the basis of the residual command aim.
