Reliability Model for Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) Based on Redundancy Concept

Abstract:

This paper presented a reliability model for Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) based on redundancy concept. The redundancy concept discusses the serial and parallel reliability model for Remote Terminal Unit (RTU). RTU works on the success of reliability model. The reliability performance is measured by tracking the diverse sorts of failures alongside the quantity of failures that is accumulated by a RTU. The reliability model was evaluated based on reliability distributions namely Exponential, Binomial, and Poisson reliability distributions.
