Modeling of reliability of power supply systems with autonomous energy source

Abstract

The methodology for calculating the reliability of power supply systems with autonomous and mixed energy sources has been considered. Autonomous sources are widely used in industrial power supply systems as primary, backup or emergency sources. The functioning and interchangeability of these systems has features that affect the reliability of power supply. The proposed methodology is based on the method of semi-Markov random processes and can be used for comparative analysis of the reliability of options for power supply systems. The methodology has been brought to software implementation and is accompanied by an example of calculating the reliability of the power supply system for stationary marine oil production platforms.
