Integrated dynamic probabilistic safety assessments with PyCATSHOO: a new coupling approach.
Integrated dynamic probabilistic safety assessment (IDPSA) approaches provide a valuable complement to the PSA classic methods that no longer needs to be justified. These hybrid approaches gather in the same model stochastic discrete events behavior and deterministic and time-dependent one which account for physical phenomena. However, these approaches are still facing several challenges such as modelling complexity, computational costs, data availability, post-processing difficulties etc. EDF contributes to meeting these challenges by developing the PyCATSHOO tool, which, among others, addresses the modeling complexity and calculation costs. The improvement effort of this tool is still ongoing and focuses on another challenge, namely the coupling methods between models that deal with discrete stochastic aspects and physical codes. In most experiments conducted to date, this coupling has been carried out thanks to ad hoc solutions and required a significant effort. However, a solution exists which could benefit IDPSA models. This solution is the FMI (Functional Mockup Interface) standard widely used in 0D/1D physical simulations. We have recently integrated this standard in PyCATSHOO. This article reports on this integration and gives an illustration based on the well-known Heated Tank system.
