Availability estimation of nuclear reactor with standby generators by employing pre-emptive resume repair policy
Downloads
Abstract
In this paper, the authors have studied about availability estimation of nuclear power generation plants. If any
of the subsystems stops working, then the whole system gets fail. Pre-emptive resume policy has been used
for repair purposes, for failures follow exponential time distribution, whereas all repairs follow general time
distribution. The system under consideration is non- Markovian the supplementary variable technique has been
used for the mathematical formulation of the model. Laplace transforms are being utilized to solve mathematical
equations. Some particulate cases and asymptotic behavior of the system have also been derived to improve
the model’s practical importance. The expression for the availability function has been computed. A numerical
problem, together with its graphical representation, has been appended in the end to highlight actual results.
