Application of the Markov process to evaluate the reliability of a complex thermal power system

Determining the reliability of a thermal power plant as a whole or in its individual components often requires long and very expensive tests under special operating modes on a very large number of samples or gathering the required exploitation data, which is even more difficult because of the choice...
