***** (a) Explain the general characteristic of the bionomial distribution. (b) A product is claimed to be 90% free of defects. What is the expected value and standard deviation of the number of defect in a sample of 4? A system consists of four components in parallel system requires that at least of there components must function. What is the probability of system success if the component reliability in 0.9? What is the system reliability if five components are placed in parallel to perform the same function? (a) Devise the expression for the expected value and standard deviation of the exponential distribution. (b) Consider the following reliability function, where t is in hours R(t) = 1/(0.001t + 1) t 0. (i) Find the reliability after 100 operating hours and after 1000 operating hours. (ii) Device the hazard rate function. Is it an increasing or a decreasing failure rate? (a) Explain the two state Mavkov process of a single component with repair. (b) Derive the expression for limiting state probabilities of a two component repairable model with identical capacities and identical transitional rates. Use the frequency balance approach to evaluate the frequency of encountering and duration of residing in each of the states shown in figure below where rates are expressed in occ/yr. 0.01 0. 5

(a) Explain the method of calculating LOLP of a generating system. What are the inadequacies of LOLP as an index of unreliability? (b) A power system contain three 40 MW and one 60 MW capacity unit each having a forced outage rate of 0.02. The annual daily peak load variation curve is a straight line from 100% to 40% points. Estimate LOLE for a peach load of 200 MW. Write short notes on : (i) Two weather environment weighted average rate model. (ii) Decomposition method. Contd. in page 2 Page 1 of 2
