This paper is dealing with high power broadband signals (multisines) applied in Stand-Still Frequency Response (SSFR) technique for the measuring and modelling of electrical machine characteristics. The powerful excitation signals used are periodic functions with controllable amplitude spectrum....

In this paper, we derive the distribution of life length of a parallel system with random number of components when the life distribution of each component follows a Weibull distribution and the number of components follows a Poisson distribution truncated at zero. For two independent such...

Process capability indices (PCIs) are used to measure process potential and performance. This study constructs an uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator (UMVUE) of the lifetime performance index based on the upper record values for Weibull lifetime model. Then the UMVUE of the lifetime...

The method of probability-weighted moments is used to derive estimators of parameters and quantiles of the three-parameter Weibull distribution. The properties of these estimators are studied. The results obtained are compared with those obtained by using the method of maximum likelihood. The...

Maximum likelihood parameter estimation becomes easy by augmenting the parameter space of the probability distribution. A newly proposed extended model of the four-parameter generalized gamma distribution includes the three-parameter generalized extreme-value distribution which includes the...

This paper proposes, implements, and evaluates an original discretization method for estimating the reliability of systems for which stress and strength are defined as complex functions of continuous random variables, when reliability is not derivable through common analytic techniques. This...

This paper presents an efficient design tool for the estimation of the transient electromagnetic peak torque and transient rotor over-voltages of wind turbines (WT) doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) during severe fault conditions on the grid side. This versatile and robust tool is well...
