Reliability Analysis of Water Distribution Subsystem

Reliability Analysis of a Communications Satellite Subsystem

Certain electronic components used in a communications satellite subsystem are prone to failure at known rates. The aim of this project to develop a means of computing the failure rate for a multiple component subsystem as a function of time. In the communication satellite under consideration, the critical (failure prone) components are two sets of vacuum tubes, referred to as TWTAs (Travelling...

Pressure Dependent Stochastic Reliability Analysis of Water Distribution Networks

Any reliability analysis based on just deterministic values of daily average or peak demands, cannot represent the overall system reliability realistically. Using a stochastic model in this paper variations of the system and nodal reliability values are investigated through a period of time. Considering probabilistic nature of demands, this paper combines the extended period simulation of water...

Peaking demand factor-based reliability analysis of water distribution systems

Water demands vary and consideration of the probabilistic nature of the variations should lead to more instructive assessments of the performance of water distribution systems. Water consumption data for several households were analysed using the chi-square technique and it was found that distributions worth considering under certain circumstances include the normal and lognormal. Reliability v...

Evaluation of Water Distribution Network Reliability

Analysis of subsystem integration in aircraft power distribution systems

Stability analysis of a baseline power system architecture for modern aircraft is addressed. Power electronic converters are widely used in modern aircraft power distribution systems. Due to their inherent nonlinear characteristics, instabilities may arise while integrating individual subsystems together. Bifurcation analysis is used to identify the type, multiplicity and stability of system tr...
