This paper proposes a new rebalancing strategy for balanced systems by switching standby components. Different switching rules are provided based on different balance conditions. The system reliability is derived using the finite Markov chain imbedding approach, and numerical examples and sensitivity analysis are presented for validation.
An increasing attention has been paid to the reliability analysis of balanced system. In previous studies, there were three rebalancing strategies for balanced systems: forcing down the unbalanced pair of subsystems, restarting components that have been shut down, and dynamically adjusting the state of the working components. In this paper, a new rebalancing strategy is proposed by switching the standby components for a multi-state balanced system. The system consists of m subsystems, each with one working component and n-1 standby components. The system is balanced when the working components do not fail and the system's balanced degree doesn't exceed a threshold. Two cases of system balance conditions are considered: one is based on component states and the other is based on symmetric component states. If the system is imbalanced or fails, the system needs to adjust the state of the working component by switching switches to let the system operate normally. The switching rules for each case are given separately. In this paper, the finite Markov chain imbedding approach (FMCIA) is used to derive the system reliability. Finally, numerical examples and sensitivity analysis are given.
