Abstract :
A study of the reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) characteristics of diesel and gas-turbine power systems producing less than 2 MW is discussed. The study included collection and examination of source data for power systems at commercial and military facilities operating in continuous or standby service. A database of system, subsystem, and component RAM data was established. These data will be useful in the design of primary and standby power systems for military or commercial facilities
