RISK ASSESSMENT Risk Number System Component Risk Scenario Description Likelihood (1-5) Impact (1- 5) Risk Level (Likelihood x Impact) Mitigation Measures 2.1.14 Governor System Governor Safety and Environmental Impact: Uncontrolled Turbin...
AI summary The risk assessment identifies two key risks: uncontrolled turbine speed due to governor failure and battery capacity degradation. Both risks are addressed through mitigation measures such as regular maintenance, emergency systems, and monitoring. The likelihood and impact of these risks are assessed, with risk levels calculated as the product of the two.
