Cost-effectiveness analysis of a reliability model of two distinguishable electricity resources is done in this paper. Subsystem-A is taken as the primary, whereas subsystem-B is taken as the secondary source of electricity. Subsystem-A has three modes – operation, repair, and activation, and subsystem-B has four modes – operation, inspection, minor repair, and major repair. Availability of a full-time technician is considered to perform all repair and activation activities. The technician initiates the repair of subsystem-A immediately whenever required, whereas inspection is carried out for subsystem-B to identify the type of repair required. Normal and abnormal weather conditions are considered to study the impact of weather conditions on repair and activation activities. Only subsystem-A needs activation after repair, and no repair/activation is carried out in abnormal weather, while weather conditions do not affect inspection or repair activities of subsystem-B. Failure and repair rates of both the subsystems are exponentially distributed, whereas a general distribution is taken for the operation rate of subsystem-A. Various reliability components like Mean Time to System Failure (MTSF), steady-state availability, busy period of the server, and profit of the system model are evaluated using the semi-Markov process. Random values are taken to show the impact of increasing failure rate of subsystem-A and rate of change of weather condition from normal to abnormal on MTSF and the cost-benefit of the system model. Graphs are drawn for MTSF and profit of the system model, which clearly indicates that MTSF and profit of the system model are higher for a lesser rate of change in weather conditions.
