Abstract. Weak part analysis of a system is a key element in a system reliability quantification process. It enables the weakest areas of a system to be recognized and assists in directing remedial measures for improving the system reliability. This paper proposes an unreliability tracing technique for a ring shipboard distribution system. The case studies indicate that the developed technique can distribute the system unreliability indices to components reasonably, and can therefore be used to recognize the weak parts of a shipboard power system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
