Abstract

Many human activities are electricity-dependent. As major providers of electricity, the performance of high-power stations represents a vital part of any national economy. In the present study, we identified the distribution fitting to TBF. The distribution fitting based on failure data collection, calculated TBF, plotted the histogram for TBF and matched the plot on the continuous distributions' functions have been investigated. Then, the most valid distribution was found to be the Three-parameter Weibull distribution. Shape, scale and location parameters values were 0.75169, 32.125 and 1.9375, respectively.

Keywords:

Distribution fitting, failure rate, hazard function, reliability function,
