• Blocks represent components having a unique occurrence in the model

• They are the basic construct to group model elements

• A model is thus a hierarchy of nested blocks

• Blocks come from prototype-oriented languages

Blocks

block DieselGenerator block CircuitBreaker

block BackupPowerSupplySystem

block BackupPowerSupplySystem block DieselGenerator // elements of the diesel generator end

block CircuitBreaker // elements of the circuit breaker end

/* elements to connect the diesel generator and the circuit breaker*/

end

• A class is a separately defined, reusable (“on-the-shelf”) block

• A block can aggregate (contain) other blocks as well as instances, i.e. copies, of classes

• A class can aggregate blocks and instances of classes

• Definitions of classes cannot be recursive nor circular

• Classes come from object-oriented modeling languages

Classes

class DieselGenerator // elements of the diesel generator

end class CircuitBreaker // elements of the circuit breaker end block BackupPowerSupplySystem DiseselGenerator DG; CircuitBreaker CB3; /* elements to connect

• The semantics of AltaRica 3.0 is defined by means of flattening rules, i.e. that the hierarchy of blocks and instances of classes is collapsed into a single block

• Flattening rules depend on the type of hierarchical links:

—Aggregation

—Inheritance

—Reference (“embeds” clause)

Flattening

Page 9: Safety Assessment of an Electrical System with AltaRica 3 · 2014-11-05 · Safety Assessment of an Electrical System with AltaRica 3.0 Hala MORTADA (LIX, Ecole Polytechnique) Tatiana

9 IMBSA 2014 , October 27 – 29, 2014

• A hierarchical link: the is-a-part-of link

— e.g. the left-front wheel is a part of the car

• In AltaRica 3.0, a block or a class can aggregate blocks and instances of classes

• Flattening rules:

—Elements of the nested block (or the instance of class) are copied;

—Names of the elements are prefixed with the name of the block (or the instance of class)

Aggregation

class DieselGenerator Boolean working (init = true); event failure; transition failure : working -> working :=false; end block BackupPowerSupplySystem DieselGenerator DG; end

block BackupPowerSupplySystem Boolean DG.working (init = true); event DG.failure; transition DG.failure : DG.working -> DG.working :=false; end

• A hierarchical link: the is-a-kind-of link

— e.g. a car is a kind of vehicle

• In AltaRica 3.0, a block or a class can inherit from another class.

• Flattening rules for inheritance are the same as those for aggregation, with the exception that the elements of the inherited components are copied without any prefix

Inheritance

class NonRepairableComponent Boolean working (init = true); event failure; transition failure : working -> working :=false; end class Pump extends NonRepairableComponent Boolean inflow (reset = false); Boolean outflow (reset = false); assertion outflow := inflow and working; end

class Pump Boolean working (init = true); Boolean inflow (reset = false); Boolean outflow (reset = false); event failure; transition failure : working -> working :=false; assertion outflow := inflow and working; end

• Hierarchical decompositions are often thought only as tree-like structures. But in practice it is often convenient for two branches to share a component (especially when reasoning in functional terms).

• AltaRica 3.0 makes it possible to share blocks and instances of classes through the “embeds” clause.

• Consider that —The circuit breakers can be open, closed and can have on demand

failures (failure to open or failure to close) with a given probability gamma = 10-3.

—The diesel generator can be started or stopped and can have on demand failure (failure to start).

—In the initial state the power is transmitted to the Busbar via the Line 1, i.e. the circuit breakers CBU1 and CBD1 are closed, the circuit breakers CBU2 and CBD2 are open, the diesel generator DG is stopped, the circuit breaker CB3 is open.

—If the Line 1 fails, the system should be reconfigured to use the Line 2 (i.e. the circuit breakers CBU2 and CBD2 should be closed). If both lines are failed, the diesel generator DG is attempted to start and the circuit breaker CB3 is attempted to close.

• Different variants of models of the case study have been defined

—The first series targeting a compilation into Fault Trees

—The second series targeting a compilation into Markov chains

• Each of these variants captures a particular aspect of the system under study

• A model is always a trade-off between the accuracy of the description and the ability to perform calculations

• Refining a model in successive variants is a good way to seek a good trade-off

• The approach made of successive derivation of variants is a solid ground to build a modeling methodology

Conclusion
