Abstract: Abstract All participating countries of the Paris agreement 2015 agreed on a reduction of the overall rise in temperature by less than 2 °C. To achieve this target, renewable energy plays a vital role due to its non-depleting and sustainable nature. The process of condensation of biomass residues into solid fuels is famously known as briquetting. It increases the efficacy of thermal capacity, rate of combustion, and calorific value of the fuel. Sometimes neglected faults in a briquette machine usually do not affect the overall performance of the system but their ignorance leads us towards major faults. Moreover, when a neglected fault occurs, the aspect of preventive maintenance of the system will also come into the picture to avoid the extension of minor faults into major faults. In this paper, we consider the neglected faults like overheating, extensive vibration, abnormal sounds, etc. along with other minor/ major faults by means of preventive maintenance. For such kinds of minor faults, an ordinary repairman is enough for the handling of the entire unit. A detailed analysis of various parameters like availability, profit, busy period, mean time to system failure, etc. are presented. Furthermore, we used the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm to optimize the value of system profit. We studied the graphical representation of evaluated parameters for a clear picture of the proposed work.
