Operational Readiness of a Complex System under Different Weather Conditions

Abstract

The authors have considered a complex system composed of single repairable unit and operating in ‘n’ multiple environmental conditions. The system may either go to complete breakdown shape due to common cause failure or it may go to any one of the abnormal weather operation states. The system is repairable from the degraded state. The failed system is assumed to be repaired back to its normal weather and abnormal weather operation states.
