pof_towers: Current Probability of Failure for Towers

In CNAIM: Common Network Asset Indices Methodology (CNAIM)

Current Probability of Failure for Towers

Description

This function calculates the current annual probability of failure per kilometer EHV Switchgear The function is a cubic curve that is based on the first three terms of the Taylor series for an exponential function. For more information about the probability of failure function see section 6 on page 34 in CNAIM (2021).

Usage

pof_towers(
  tower_asset_category = "33kV Tower",
  foundation_type = "Foundation - Fully Encased Concrete",
  paint_type = "Paint System - Paint",
  placement = "Default",
  number_of_operations = "Default",
  altitude_m = "Default",
  distance_from_coast_km = "Default",
  corrosion_category_index = "Default",
  age,
  observed_condition_inputs_steelwork,
  observed_condition_inputs_paint,
  observed_condition_inputs_foundation,
  reliability_factor = "Default"
)

Arguments

tower_asset_category	String The type of Tower asset category
foundation_type	String Foundation type of the tower
paint_type	String Paint type of the tower
placement	String. Specify if the asset is located outdoor or indoor.
number_of_operations	Numeric Number of operations for the tower
altitude_m	Numeric. Specify the altitude location for the asset measured in meters from sea level.altitude_m is used to derive the altitude factor. See page 111, table 23 in CNAIM (2021). A setting of "Default" will set the altitude factor to 1 independent of asset_type.
distance_from_coast_km	Numeric. Specify the distance from the coast measured in kilometers. distance_from_coast_km is used to derive the distance from coast factor See page 110, table 22 in CNAIM (2021). A setting of "Default" will set the distance from coast factor to 1 independent of asset_type.
corrosion_category_index	Integer. Specify the corrosion index category, 1-5.
age	Numeric. The current age in years of the conductor.
observed_condition_inputs_steelwork	Named list observed_conditions_input
observed_condition_inputs_paint	Named list observed_conditions_input
observed_condition_inputs_foundation	Named list observed_conditions_input conductor_samp = c("Low","Medium/Normal","High","Default"). See page 161, table 199 and 201 in CNAIM (2021).
reliability_factor	Numeric. reliability_factor shall have a value between 0.6 and 1.5. A setting of "Default" sets the reliability_factor to 1. See section 6.14 on page 73 in CNAIM (2021).

Value

DataFrame Current probability of failure per annum per kilometer along with current health score.
