DETECTION OF AGING IN THE RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF THERMAL GENERATORS. Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • This paper addresses the importance of aging in the reliability analysis of repairable systems. Methodology for the detection of aging is presented. This methodology is based on Mann's nonparametric statistical tests for detection of trend. The technique is illustrated by application to ten thermal generating units on the Brazilian electric network.
