Abstract
In this paper, investigations have been carried out for the evaluation of reliability and MTTF (mean time to failure) of a parallel redundant complex system; viz. a power plant. The object of the system is to supply power generated by generators from a power house to a very important consumer, connected by cables and switches. The reliability and MTTF have been evaluated by using Boolean Function (BF) technique. Failure times for the various components of the complex system follow arbitrary distribution. A numerical example has also been appended to highlight the important results. Two graphs on reliability and MTTF have also been given in the end to forecast the operable behaviour of the system at any time.
