A Reliability Estimations of The Control System Using Cut And Tie Set Methods

Abstract

The paper focuses on the challenge of assessing the reliability of control systems. Reliability evaluation at the system level is crucial for understanding overall system performance and guiding system adjustments in response to component failures. However, the dynamic and interconnected nature of control systems makes traditional reliability engineering methods inadequate. This paper proposes a novel approach that involves identifying equivalent tie sets or cut sets to evaluate reliability based on control system performance. This method offers the advantage of easily re-evaluating reliability when faults are detected or control objectives change by updating the cut sets or tie sets.
