Availability and Reliability Evaluation of Romanian hydro generating units using Markov analysis

This paper uses a Markov reliability model for two hydro power plants using the operational data for a twelve years span (2010 ÷2021). The availability and reliability of individual generating units and for the power plant are evaluated taking into account different case studies using failure rate λ, repair rate μ, MTTR, MTBF, MTTF, state probability, frequency of state and rate of departure.
