Abstract

This paper express reliability measures of a cold standby system which have two units. In cold standby system one unit operative and other unit kept as a spare. In the system both the unit kept as non-identical. The each operative unit fails due to snowstorm with different failure rate. The system completely failed when the both two units are failed. The failed unit cannot be operative directly by the repairman. The failed unit under the snow, first digging out from the snow then hospitalize (repair) the unit after that the unit becomes operative. Some properties of reliability system such as mean time to system failure, availability and profit have been computed. At last particular cases have been taken to explain the model.

Keywords
