Bayes estimators for reliability of a two-unit hot standby system with the imperfect switch based upon a complete sample of failure times observed from exponential distributions under squared error loss and some priors for failure rates are proposed, and mean squared errors of proposed several Bayes estimators for the system reliability are compared unmerically each other through the Monte Carlo simulation.

We shall propose maximum likelihood, Bayesian and generalized maximum likelihood estimation for the reliability of the two-unit hot standby system with exponential lifetime distribution that switch is perfect. Each estimation will be compared numerically in terms of various mission times, parameter values and asymptotic relative efficiency through Monte Carlo simulation.

This paper presents an optimal operating strategy of distributed generation (DG) with reliability worth evaluation of distribution systems. Using DG for peak-shaving unit could reduce the overall system operating cost, and using DG for standby power unit could reduce the customer interruption cost. If DG operating cost is less than utility power cost in peak time, DG should be running to reduce the overall system operating cost. When customer interruption cost enlarges, however, standby power strategy may be the better operating strategy than peak-shaving strategy. Selection of whether DG should be operated for peak-shaving or for standby power, needs the accurate reliability worth evaluation and the accurate power cost evaluation. Instead of using annual average reliability worth, the concept of hourly reliability worth is introduced in this paper to determine the optimal operating decision of DG. Applying suggested hourly reliability worth, the distribution companies that possess DG could set up the optimal operating strategy of DG.

The issue of hotel energy use is growing more significant as the hotel industry expands. It is important to take into account the electrical installation and space-specific features in a room unit in order to comprehend the energy consumption of a hotel guestroom. In light of this, this study aimed to analyze standby power for enhancing the energy efficiency of a hotel guestroom during check-out status. This study was conducted in three steps: (i) data collection; (ii) analysis of energy consumption patterns; and (iii) analysis of energy efficiency improvement plan. The main findings of this study can be summarized as follows. First, 32.24% of energy was used in fan coil unit) during check-out status. Second, a hotel guestroom had a 4.30% energy saving potential, based on energy consumption patterns during check-out status. This study can contribute to support hotel management to operate guestrooms differently by helping them identify patterns in energy use and realize potential savings.

We consider a preventive replacement policy for a cold-standby system with N components, in which only one component is in operation at a time. If the component in operation fails, a standby component is immediately switched into operation. If all components fail, the system fails. The system is inspected at random poins in time to determine whether it is to be replaced or not. If the number of failed components at the time of inspection exceeds a threshold value r, the system is replaced. Otherwise the decision is put off until the next inspection point arrives. Under the cost structure which includes a replacement cost, a system down-time cost and a holding cost of the components, we develop an efficient procedure to find the optimal control values N and r, which minimize the expected cost per unit time.

This study develops a maintenance strategy for a reparable 2-unit standby system. The maintenance strategy implies the waiting time to call the repair facility when the unit-1 fails. Almeida and Souza set up the multi-attribute utility function consisting of system availability and repair cost for several maintenance strategies and decide the optimal maintenance strategy that maximize the expected value of the utility function. We decide the optimal maintenance strategy satisfying the following two criteria about the utility function : maximum variance using Almeida and Souza's utility function. It both criteria are not satisfied at the same time for every strategies, the strategy maximizing the lower confidence limit for expected utility function is regarded as an optimal one.

대기부품은 대기기간 중에 우발적 고장이 발생할 수 있으며(type I failure), 해당상황이 장기간 방치되는 것을 방지하기 위해 주기적인 검사를 하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 검사가 대기기간 중 발생한 고장을 확인할 수 있게 하는 반면, 검사를 시작할 때 대기하던 부품에 부하를 가하는 과정에서 고장을 유발할 가능성이 존재하며(type II failure), 검사시간동안 대기부품을 작동시킴으로써 열화에 의한 고장발생(type III failure)의 가능성을 증가시키는 효과도 존재한다. 이에 본 논문은 주기적 검사정책을 갖는 대기부품을 대상으로 세 종류의 고장 가능성을 확률적으로 고려하여 성능분석을 실시하였으며, 성능을 평가하는 척도로 극한가용성을 사용하였다. 특히 type III failure를 고려하는 것은 기존에 연구되지 않은 부분으로 본 논문의 기여점이라 할 수 있겠다. 또한 수치해석을 통해 가용성의 관점에서 전술한 세 가지 유형의 고장특성과 검사주기와의 관계를 파악할 수 있도록 하였으며, 그 결과를 통해 높은 수준의 신뢰성 확보가 목적인 대기시스템의 효율적인 운영을 위한 의사결정시 도움이 될 수 있도록 하였다.

This paper considers some reliability indices, such as availability, average availability, reliability and steady state availability, of a redundant system with the function of switchover processing. We also derive the confidence limits for steady state availability of such system. The system, which is considered in this paper, consists of an active unit, a standby unit and a switchover device. In addition, the switchover processing is controlled by a control module. The effect of failure of the control module is taken into account to develop our reliability model for the redundant structure. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate our results.

Recently, although the power consumption of the flyback converter at the light load and standby power load was minimized by the burst mode operation of PWM IC, flyback converter has still the low efficiency characteristics by the high magnetizing current flowing through magnetizing inductance of transformer. This paper proposes a novel flyback converter with an improved efficiency characteristics and the reduced magnetizing current at the light load and standby power load. Prototype of the 70W multi-output flyback converter for an auxiliary power module of 50 inch PDP TV is built and the experimental results are described.
