Reliability behavior of a large network based education system
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a reliability and availability evaluation of a large Network Based Education (NBE) system called NovaNET. NovaNET is a wide area NBE system which serves thousands of users on a daily basis. A successful NBE system is expected to provide appropriate Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees to its users. Among the most important extended QoS parameters are system reliability and availability. Ever since its inception NovaNET has been providing its users with daily reports on system reliability and availability during scheduled user hours of operation. We present results from a study of NovaNET using 9 years of operational reliability and failure data. The data are used to discuss practical bounds on reliability and availability of a viable and successful NBE system.

Estimating Reliability in Mobile ad-hoc Networks Based on Monte Carlo Simulation (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Each system has its own definition of reliability. Reliability in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) could be interpreted as, the probability of reaching a message from a source node to destination, successfully. The variability and volatility of the MANET configuration makes typical reliability methods (e.g. reliability block diagram) inappropriate. It is because, no single structure or configurat...
متن کاملUsing the Modified Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm for Optimal Sizing and location of Distributed Generation Resources for Reliability Improvement
Restructuring the recent developments in the power system and problems arising from construction as well as the maintenance of large power plants lead to increase in using the Distributed Generation (DG) resources. DG units due to its specifications, technology and location network connectivity can improve system and load point reliability indices. In this paper, the allocation and sizing of di...
متن کاملDetermination of Composite System Adequacy Equivalents Using a Reduction Technique: a Case Study on a Regional Electric Company
Reliability evaluation of a large-scale composite power system faces to numerous events/outage and consequently imposes an extensive burden of calculations. In order to simplify the problem, determination of an equivalent system for large-scale power system is inevitable. This paper proposes a framework as reduction technique to separate a composite power system to three areas: external area, o...
متن کاملModern power system frequency response evaluation with virtual power plant penetration
New power systems based on VPP will be expanded in the future and analysis of the frequency behavior of these systems compared to current systems in the field of disruptions will be one of the most important issues of the system operators. In this paper, the equations of the frequency response model of conventional power system are expanded by considering the VPP's and their effective component...
متن کاملReliability estimation of Iran's power network
Today, the electricity power system is the most complicated engineering system has ever been made. The integrated power generating stations with power transmission lines has created a network, called complex power network. The reliability estimation of such complex power networks is a very challenging problem, as one cannot find any immediate solution methods in current literature. In this pape...
