Popis: The main objective of this paper is to present a new reliability model of thermal power plant in case of power block in TE-KO Kostolac B (Serbia), with the existence of interactions of system component cancellation. It is based on the theory of probability, Weibull distribution, Monte Carlo simulation, and newly discovered mathematical models of component dismissal interaction and original software solutions. The goal of implementation of new model is increased system reliability through reducing the number of failures. Thus, increasing operational safety of thermal power, which is in accordance with the provision of energy security by applying measures of Directive 2005/89/EU. According to the directive, it is necessary to ensure reliable, safe, efficient, and quality power supply.
