Abstract
Dynamic fault tree analysis has been widely applied to the reliability and safety analysis of various fault tolerant systems. Modern equipment has become larger, more complex and more intelligent; the reliability of this equipment not only impacts the safe operation of personnel and property, but also has important social and economic significance. Based on the improved dynamic fault tree analysis method, this paper analyzes the reliability of oil pump units within a pump station. This paper gives three criteria for ranking the basic events in a Binary Decision Diagram and a comprehensive dynamic fault tree. This method is then put into practice in the reliability analysis of pump units. The result indicates that the improved method used for reliability analysis of oil pump units in a pump station has a simple modeling process, and low computational complexity.
