electric power industry have always try to provide reliable electricity to customers and at the same time decrease system costs. high voltage circuit-breakers are an essential part of the power network. this study has developed a maintenance and replacement scheduling model for high voltage circuit- breakers that minimize maintenance costs while maintaining the acceptable reliability. this mode...

We exhibit a new stability property of Weibull tail-distributions. It is shown that the power of a random variable with a Weibull tail-distribution still has a Weibull tail-distribution and the associated Weibull tail-coefficient is exhibited. Weibull tail-distributions are defined through their distribution function by:

The exponentiated -parent distribution is a generalization of the standard parent distribution. [7] introduced a simple generalization to weibull distribution namely the exponentiated weibull distribution. The new distribution was applied to analyzing bathtub failure rates lifetime data. In this paper, we consider the standard exponentiated inverted weibull distribution (EIW) that generalizes t...

Several characterizations of a New Modified Weibull distribution, introduced by Doostmoradi et al. (2014), are presented. These characterizations are based on: (i) truncated moment of a function of the random variable (ii) the hazard function (iii) a single function of the random variable (iv) truncated moment of certain function of the 1st order statistic.

due to increasing expansion of energy consumption and also the decrease and tendency towardsending fossil energy reserves, the current energy cycle needs to use alternative energy speciallywind energy, because it’s considerably cheaper than other recycling sources. the presentresearch investigates suitable possibility of exploiting wind energy to create wind power stationin soltanieh zone of za...

The two-parameter Weibull distribution is the predominant distribution in reliability and lifetime data analysis. The classical approach for estimating the scale [Formula: see text] and shape [Formula: see text] parameters employs the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method. However, most MLE based-methods resort to numerical or graphical techniques due to the lack of closed-form expressions...

in order to restrain the potential of wind energy, the first step is to determine the wind energy potential. in this study the wind data was used from the three-hour frequency recording of 10-year period (2002-2011). to predict the occurrence probability of each wind speed, the two-parameter weibull function was used. the goodness of fit test by chi-square test showed that the wind speed distri...

This data article provides a comparison data for nano-cement based concrete (NCC) and ordinary Portland cement based concrete (OPCC). Concrete samples (OPCC) were fabricated using ten different mix design and their characterization data is provided here. Optimization of curing time using the Weibull distribution model was done by analyzing the rate of change of compressive strength of the OPCC....
