UGF-based signature reliability for solar panel k-out-of-n- multiplex systems

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate the reliability and signature reliability of solar panel k-out-of-n-multiplex system with the help of universal generating function.Design/methodology/approachEnergy scarcity and global warming issues have become important concerns for humanity in recent decades. To solve these problems, various nations work for renewable energy sources (RESs), including sun, breeze, geothermal, wave, radioactive and biofuels. Solar energy is absorbed by solar panels, referred to as photovoltaic panels, which then transform it into electricity that can be used to power buildings or residences. Remote places can be supplied with electricity using these panels. Solar energy is often generated using a solar panel that is connected to an inverter for power supply. As a result, a converter reliability evaluation is frequently required. This paper presents a study on the reliability analysis of k-out-of-n systems with heterogeneous components. In this research, the universal generating function methodology is used to identify the reliability function and signature reliability of the solar array components. This method is commonly used to assess the tail signature and Barlow-Proschan index with independent and identically distributed components.FindingsThe Barlow-Proschan index, tail signature, signature, expected lifetime, expected cost and minimal signature of independent identically distributed are all computed.Originality/valueThis is the first study of solar panel k-out-of-n-multiplex systems to examine the signature reliability with the help of universal generating function techniques with various measures.

An Archimedean Copulas-Based Approach for m-Consecutive-k-Out-of-n: F Systems with Exchangeable Components

“…(ii) The MTTF (E(T NET )) of the parallel network NET(ξ,m,k,n) can be determined via (20). Following a parallel argumentation with (i) partially implemented, we next substitute Formulas (12), ( 17) and ( 21) in (18) and the expression we are searching for is concluded after some straightforward manipulations.…”

“…Stats 2023, 6 1115 In addition, several signature-based reliability studies of k-out-of-n or consecutive-kout-of-n systems appear in the existing literature. For instance, we refer to the works [20][21][22]. Moreover, some more complex reliability structures have also been investigated by several authors (see, e.g., [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]).…”

Reliability Equivalence Factors for Coherent System using Survival Signature

“…employs probabilistic analysis for assessing the reliability of systems emphasizing randomness and uncertainty. Contrary to this, Ushakov (1986), Levitin (2005), Triantafyllou (2021b) and Ram et al (2023) used the universal generating functions which provide algebraic representations of performance distributions. Several researchers (Samaniego, 1985;Boland, 2001;Navarro et al, 2010;Kumar and Singh, 2019;Triantafyllou, 2021a) used the signature analysis.…”

“…Naaz et al (2023) evaluated the characteristic reliability of a refrigeration system using a universal generating function technique and calculated the expected cost of the system. Ram et al (2023) used the universal generating function technique to identify the reliability and characteristic reliability of a k-out-n-multiplex solar panel system, together with a computational analysis of the system's expected cost. Sadiya et al (2023) analyzed the reliability and expected cost of the system by using techniques to evaluate the reliability of the system and the signature reliability of different models.…”
