Paper Title
Cost-Function Of Two-Dissimilar Cold Standby Units Under The Influence Of Electrical Fluctuations And Human Errors
Abstract
Studies on reliability systems are currently ever on the increase, not only dominating but undoubtedly accounting
for a major part of the research out-put in the areas of stochastic processes and their applications, applied probability and
operation research. A large number of papers on a two unit standby redundant systems have appeared because of the large
number of parameters governing system behavior and the complex environment with uncertainties. In this paper we have
taken CCFM (common cause failure mode) which is caused due to some human errors. When the main unit fails due to
Electrical fluctuations then cold standby system becomes operative. Voltage fluctuations cannot occur simultaneously in
both the units and after failure the unit undergoes very costly repair facility immediately. Applying the regenerative point
technique with renewal process theory the various reliability parameters of interest and profit analysis have been evaluated.
