Railway signaling safety system organizes equipments and facilities of railway, increases transport efficiency and assures safe operation of railway. In the early days of signaling system railway managers made sure of safety by using relay logic technology based on fail-safe concept. But the development result of computer and science having been introduced to railway industry, railway signaling equipments begin to be operated through micro electronic control system. Accordingly high speed and high density operation of train became possible. Software reliability and safety technology that controls important systems of railway was highlighted. In the middle of 1990s the standard or guideline of railway reliability and safety were studied and established, and are being reviewing in Europe, Japan etc. Our reliability and safety technology have depended largely on foreign countries. In this study we performed a basic study about the reliability of software that controls the railway signaling system.

Novel mechanism of customized adequacy formulation is proposed in order to enhance micro grids system reliability. The mechanism accounts for 2-levles of load curtailment, and is mainly based on probabilistic load profile and hybrid Distributed Generation (DG) units modeling. The two load curtailments are needed in order to ensure adequate technical constraints at steady state condition during islanding mode of operation. The effectiveness of the proposed formulation has been verified using system independent analytical expressions for the evaluation of both reliability and Expected Energy Not Served (EENS) indices. The evaluation has examined the impact of different penetration levels of Hybrid DG Units in case study islands. Results show the enhancement of the overall distribution system reliability and the recommended conditions for successful islanding mode of operation.

Data center is an information hub and resource for information-centric society. Since data center houses hundreds to ten thousands servers, networking and communication equipment, and supporting systems energy saving is one of the hottest issues for green data center. Among several solutions for green data center this paper introduces higher voltage direct current (DC) power feeding system. Contrary to legacy alternating current (AC) power feeding system equipped with Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), higher voltage DC power feeding system is reported to be a more energy efficient and reliable solution for green data center thanks to less AC/DC and DC/AC conversions. Main focus of this paper is on reliability issue for reliable and continuous operation of higher voltage DC power feeding system. We present different types of configuration of the power feeding systems according to the level of reliability. We analyze the reliability of the power feeding systems based on M/M/1/N+1/N+1 queueing model. Operation of the power feeding system in case of failure is also presented.

Optimum performance and reliable operation of wind turbines and/or wind farms are crucial parameters for stakeholders such as OEMs, operators, owners and investors. The efficiency and life time of wind power heavily depends on operation and maintenance efforts. Every manufacturer or owner wants to have wind turbines with high reliability, which can be defined as the probability that a wind turbine will perform its designed function for a certain period of time under stated conditions. In this regard, IEC WG26 is now developing a technical specification defining information categories from which reliability metrics can be identified and reported.

전자부품으로 구성된 제어기의 선뢰성에 대한 연구는 미국방부를 중심으로 1960년대부터 연구되었으며, 철도분야에서는 유럽을 중심으로 1990년대부터 연구되었다. 특히 한국에서는 2000년대 이후부터 신호설비 신뢰성에 대한 연구가 시작되어 과거 신뢰성정보가 없는 노후신호설비를 대상으로 하는 효율적인 유지보수를 위한 신뢰도 평가가 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 부품단위 고장률 또는 운영시 발생된 고장정보와 같이 신호장치의 신뢰성이 지속적으로 감시 및 분석되지 않고 25년 이상 사용된, 노후신호장치를 대상으로 부품단위 신뢰도를 평가하고, 잔존수명함수를 사용하여 현재시점에서의 신뢰도변화를 예측하였으며, 연장사용이 요구되는 기간에 대한 가속스트레스시험을 통해 연장사용의 가능성을 평가하는 모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 모델은 노후신호설비를 운영하는 철도운영기관이 미래의 유지보수정책을 수립하기 위해 활용될 것이다.

Electrical equipment for railway is always experiencing wear and degradation by mechanical, electrical and environmental stress in service and the fault or the accident of high voltage main circuit directly causes operation interruption. Particularly propulsion drive of high speed switching inverter takes the form of specific degradation mechanism such as fast rising transient surge, reflective overvoltage and harmonic stress, and it is known that it threatens the long life and the reliability of electrical equipment. In this paper, statistics of fault and accident on main electrical equipment for railway are presented and also insulation degradation mechanism, which governs end life of electrical device, is analyzed. Finally the method of fault respondence and reliability improvement on the main electrical equipments will be reviewed in order to prevent operation interruption.

In this article, a new model based on Lomax distribution is introduced. This new model is both useful and practical in areas such as economic, reliability and life testing. Some statistical properties of this model are presented including moments, hazard rate, reversed hazard rate, mean residual life and mean inactivity time functions, among others. It is also shown that the distributions of the new model are ordered with respect to the strongest likelihood ratio ordering. The method of moment and maximum likelihood estimation are used to estimates the unknown parameters. Simulation is utilized to calculate the unknown shape parameter and to study its properties. Finally, to illustrate the concepts, the appropriateness of the new model for real data sets are included.

For effective distribution planning and operation, we need a reliable estimation of operation capacity. But it is difficult to ensure reliability due to the low accuracy of section load data, which is used as a basis in estimating the operation capacity. This paper discusses how to improve the accuracy of section load data by analyzing the existing method of estimating the section load, using statistical techniques to adjust the acquired data, and using the section load estimation algorithm to estimate the section load based on the adjusted data.

유도무기체계는 어떤 장비보다도 신뢰성이 가장 중요시 된다. 그러나 제작비용이 고가여서 생산수량이 적고, 배치 후 운용 데이터 획득까지 장기간이 소요되어 주로 개발단계의 신뢰성 예측자료가 활용된다. 개발단계의 신뢰성 예측은 실제 운용환경을 모두 반영하는데 한계가 있어 실제 운용환경에서의 신뢰성 분석이 필요하였다. 본 연구에서는 국내개발 유도무기에 대한 실제 운용 데이터를 활용하여 수명분포를 추정하고, 최소제곱법과 최우추정법을 적용하여 신뢰도 값을 추정하였다. 또한, 개발단계에서 예측된 신뢰도 값과 실제 운용신뢰도 값을 비교하였다. 본 연구 결과로 볼 때 실제 유도무기의 신뢰도는 예측된 값보다 높게 나타났으며, 이는 최신 설계기술의 적용 및 향상된 부품의 신뢰도 값이 예측 데이터에 반영되지 못한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구를 통해 국내개발 유도무기에 대한 실제 운용 신뢰도를 확인할 수 있었으며, 향후 개발될 유도무기의 신뢰도 분석 연구 활동에 기여 할 것으로 기대된다.
