Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the performance of a wind electric generating power plant through the study of reliability measures. The enhancement of the performance of the wind power plant using various approaches is also an objective of this paper. Design/methodology/approach...

In an automobile engine, the heat transfer cannot be possible without cooling system support. The cooling system has a great importance in the engines. It coolants overheat of the engine, and prevents it from breakdown, that's why a highly reliable cooling system is the necessity of every engine...

The present research work proposes a mathematical model of thermal power plant to analyse its performance through reliability measures. Evaluation of reliability measure for thermal power plant is a complex process. The thermal power plant is modelled using Markov process and explored the...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate various reliability metrics such as transition state probabilities, availability, reliability, mean time to failure and expected profit of two non-identical unit parallel system incorporating waiting time. Design/methodology/approach The present...
