Abstract: The work reported in present study deals with the development of a novel stochastic model and estimation of parameters to assess reliability characteristics for a turbogenerator unit of thermal power plant under classical and Bayesian frameworks. Turbogenerator unit consists of five components namely turbine lubrication, turbine governing, generator oil system, generator gas system and generator excitation system. The concepts of cold standby redundancy and Weibull distributed random variables are used in development of stochastic model. The shape parameter for all the random variables is same while scale parameter is different. Regenerative point technique and semi-Markov approach are used for evaluation of reliability characteristics. Sufficient repair facility always remains available in plant as well as repair done by the repairman is considered perfect. As the life testing experiments are time consuming, so to highlight the importance of proposed model Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out. A comparative analysis is done between true, classical and Bayesian results of MTSF, availability and profit function.
