Reliability And Availability

The global development of high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) systems in fields such as renewable energy sources, interconnection of asynchronous grids or power transmission over great distances, is unquestionably important. Though widely used, the modular multilevel converter with half-bridge cells is sensitive to DC pole-to-pole faults and the time-response of the protections is critical. Reliability and availability are paramount: circuit-breakers must minimize the effects of any fault on the converter, while ensuring rapid restart. This paper focuses on the modelling aspects to analyse the behaviour of HVDC stations during DC pole-to-pole faults, using either AC or DC circuit-breakers, with different parameters. The proposed model can represent the main issues met by the converter cells during DC faults, such as semiconductor overcurrents and overvoltages, allowing a proper design of the cells.

The wind industry is trying to find tools to accurately predict and know the reliability and availability of newly installed wind turbines. Failure modes, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) is a technique used to determine critical subsystems, causes and consequences of wind turbines. FMECA has been widely used by manufacturers of wind turbine assemblies to analyze, evaluate and prioritize potential/known failure modes. However, its actual implementation in wind farms has some limitations. This paper aims to determine the most critical subsystems, causes and consequences of the wind turbines of the Moroccan wind farm of Amougdoul during the years 2010–2019 by applying the maintenance model (FMECA), which is an analysis of failure modes, effects and criticality based on a history of failure modes occurred by the SCADA system and proposing solutions and recommendations.

Reliability And Availability

In distributed storage systems, erasure codes represent an attractive data redundancy solution which can provide the same reliability as replication requiring much less storage space. Multiple data losses happens usually and the lost data should be regenerated to maintain data redundancy in distributed storage systems. Regeneration for multiple data losses is expected to be finished as soon as possible, because the regeneration time can influence the data reliability and availability of distributed storage systems. However, multiple data losses is usually regenerated by regenerating single data loss one by one, which brings high entire regeneration time and severely reduces the data reliability and availability of distributed storage systems. In this paper, we propose a tree-structured parallel regeneration scheme based on regenerating codes (TPRORC) for multiple data losses in distributed storage systems. In our scheme, multiple regeneration trees based on regenerating code are constructed. Firstly, these trees are created independently, each of which dose not share any edges from the others and is responsible for one data loss; secondly, every regeneration tree based on regenerating codes owns the least network traffic and bandwidth optimized-paths for regenerating its data loss. Thus it can perform parallel regeneration for multiple data losses by using multiple optimized topology trees, in which network bandwidth is utilized efficiently and entire regeneration is overlapped. Our simulation results show that the tree-structured parallel regeneration scheme reduces the regeneration time significantly, compared to other regular regeneration schemes.

In the paper, we propose an allocation scheme that minimizes the response time and cost of the solution subject to reliability and availability constraints in terms of expected value. The algorithm proposed in this paper aims to discover services with high QoS performance, and reduce the execute time at the same time. First, we identify the impact of various structural aspects of the composition in terms of the performance and outcomes of the composition. Then, an algorithm is proposed which can reduce the computing time and makes sure better quality of the services selection at the same time by examining a very tiny fraction of the solution space.Finally, we proves the advantage of the new algorithm by comparing the time obtained by our proposed algorithm with the one achieved by other algorithm.
