This paper deals with the sensitivity analysis of three configurations arranged in series-parallel. Configuration I consist of six units in which four are on operation while two are on standby. Configuration II consist of seven units with three of the units are on standby while the remaining four are on operation. Configuration III comprises of two subsystems C and D with three unit in each subsystem with a unit on standby. Units in each configuration provide 25MW. Both the failure and repair time are assumed exponentially distributed. System of first order linear differential difference equations is obtained using the transition diagram. Explicit expressions of the system availability, Mean Time To Failure (MTTF), busy period due to partial failure, busy period due to complete failure and profit were derived. Furthermore results of sensitivity of the system availability, MTTF and profit were determined. The obtained results were analyzed and compared, configuration I was found to be the optimal configuration. |
