Evaluation of the Reliability of a Standby Redundancy System Under Real Conditions

Abstract

This paper presents a novel analysis of a standby redundancy system under real conditions. The study considers the presence of a real commutator and failure detector in the system. Through a comprehensive failure mode analysis, mathematical relationships between different module characteristics are established. The results of investigation provide valuable insights for manufacturers, allowing them to evaluate the Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) of the system during the design phase and make informed decisions regarding the selection of failure rates for the detector and commutator. Overall, this work contributes to the effective operation of standby redundancy systems in practical applications.
