Abstract

Introduction: Ultraviolet of wavelengths from 10 nm to 125 nm ionizes air molecules, and this interaction causes it to be strongly absorbed by air, ozone (O₃) in particular. Ionizing UV therefore does not penetrate Earth's atmosphere to a significant degree, and is sometimes referred to as vacuum ultraviolet. There is a zone of the atmosphere in which ozone absorbs some 98% of UV, starting about 20 miles (32 km) high and extending upward. Although present in space, this part of the UV spectrum is not of biological importance, because it does not reach living organisms on Earth, thanks to this ozone layer. In Solar System the sunlight plays a important and vital role. The non-conventional renewable solar energy which is cheap and readily available for use in institutions, hospitals, industries and all sort of equipments and places where energy is required. But for solar energy Sun is the prime source from where solar energy can be generated. During rainy and winter seasons the sun is under the cover of clouds regularly resulting solar penal cells are unable to receive sunlight which causing failure of the system. In the present paper we have taken two non-identical warm standby system with failure due to non- availability of sunlight. When there is non-availability of sunlight the working of unit stops automatically. The failure time distribution is taken as exponential and repair time distribution as general. Using Semi Markov regenerative point technique we have calculated different reliability characteristics such as MTSF, reliability of the system, availability analysis in steady state, busy period analysis of the system under repair, expected number of visits by the repairman in the long run and profit-function. Special case by taking repair as exponential has been derived and graphs are drawn.
