Optimal Apparoch for Replacement Intervals of Warm Standby System

摘要

The protection device with low price and high maintenance cost can be used for a long time. In order to improve availability of protection system,a method of increasing redundancy and periodic replacement is proposed. Firstly,the equivalent model of cumulative failure probability was established. Then,the wasting time of the spare part is converted into the working time of the using part.Considering the optimization objective,under the strategy of block replacement, the availability model in infinite period with the maximum availability and the cost model in finite period with the minimum cost are established separately. In this case,we seek out the optimum replacement interval and verify the applicability and validity of the model through contrast and analysis. Finally,the paper gives a brief discussion of future research area about warm standby system maintenance.
