Structure Decision Making Based on Universal Generating Functions for Refrigeration System
Journal Title: Journal of Applied Quantitative Methods - Year 2010, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper presents a method for calculation of reliability measures for supermarket refrigeration system. The system and its components can have different performance levels ranging from perfect functioning to complete failure and, so it can be interpreted as a multi-state system. Calculated reliability measures are used for decision making of system structure. The suggested approach based on combined Universal Generating Functions and stochastic processes method for computation of availability, output performance and performance deficiency for multi-state system. Corresponding procedures are suggested. A numerical example is presented in order to illustrate the approach.
