A Two-unit Paralleled System with General Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers a two-unit paralleled system with general failure time and repair time distributions. The equations governing the behaviour of the system, without using regenerative (or cyclic) nature, have been derived by employing the method of supplementary variable. Then the problems of calculating the Laplace transform of the reliability of the system and the mean time to the first system failure are reduced to that of solved a well-known Fredholm integral equation, depending on the pdfs of the failu.re and repair time of units. In addition, the probability that repairman is idle at time t, the expected total idle time of repairman during the interval (O,t], and the expected number of repair until the system failure occurs are shown.

Availability of k-out-of-n: F Secondary Subsystem with General Repair Time Distribution
In this paper we study the steady state availability of main k-out-of-n: F and secondary subsystems having general repair time distribution. When more than k units of main subsystem fail, then the main subsystem shuts off the secondary subsystem. The life time distributions of the main units and that of secondary subsystem are exponentially distributed. A repair facility having single repairman...
متن کاملA New Intelligent Controller for Parallel DC/DC Converters
In this paper, the immune controller, is used to control the paralleled DC-DC converters. A PID controller is first applied and its coefficient is optimized using an intelligent (PSO) algorithm. Immune controller is then added to PID controller and an immune PID controller is formed. Two methods have been suggested to determine non-linear behavior of immune controller. In the first method, an e...

متن کاملFlexible Scheduling of Active Distribution Networks for Market Participation with Considering DGs Availability
The availability of sufficient and economic online capacity to support the network while encountering disturbances and failures leading to supply and demand imbalance has a crucial role in today distribution networks with high share of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), especially Renewable Energy Resources (RESs). This paper proposes a two-stage decision making framework for the Distribution...
متن کاملIntegration of the Decisions Associated with Maintenance Management and Process Control for a Series Production System
This paper studies a series production system through the integration of the decisions associated with Maintenance Management (MM) and Statistical Process Control (SPC). Hence, the primary question of the paper can be stated as follows: In a series production system, how can the decisions of MM and SPC be coordinated? To this end, an integrated mathematical model of MM and SPC is developed. Usi...
