Impacts of Life Distributions on Reliability Analysis of Smart Substations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most of the existing reliability analysis is based on exponential distribution which is convenient to calculation, whereas most intelligent electronic devices exhibit Weibull distribution. What kind of influence will life distribution have on the reliability and availability of a smart substation? This paper compares the reliability and availability of systems with different life distributions based on reliability block diagram and Monte-Carlo simulation, by treating the smart substations as non-repairable and repairable systems respectively. Simulation results proves the feasibility of substituting Weibull distribution with exponential distribution in engineering practice when the smart substations are treated as repairable systems, thus the life data estimation as well as the reliability analysis and calculation will be greatly simplified.

متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Reliability of the Electronic Components Using Censored Data from Weibull Distribution: Different Prior Distributions
The Weibull distribution has been widely used in survival and engineering reliability analysis. In life testing experiments is fairly common practice to terminate the experiment before all the items have failed, that means the data are censored. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to estimate the reliability function of the Weibull distribution with uncensored and censored data by using B...
