Abstract

The Reliability of Wind Turbines plays an important role in electricity generation. The Markov Technique has been widely used to evaluate the Reliability of complex systems with multiple failure modes. In this study, Laplace Transform is employed on a repairable four-state (One operational state and three failure state) Markov model to determine the probability of the system. The failure rate and repair rate of the components of Wind Turbines have been analysed over time and the Reliability of Wind Turbines have been effectively evaluated. This study confirms that the proposed approach can derive a set of Probabilistic values and Reliability of the repairable four state system.
