A simple hybrid redundancy strategy accompanied by simplified swarm optimization for the reliability–redundancy allocation problem

In this study, a new strategic model called Markov-based cold standby combined with components mixing (RRAP-CM-MCCS), is proposed to improve system reliability. The optimization method used here simplified swarm (SSO), in which SSO adopts multi-role resource sharing strategy provide the diverse required by RRAP-CM-MCCS. diversity lies providing every component subsystem its own failure rate as decision variable addition determining corresponding reliability of each component. Consequently, compared state-of-the-art results literature, not only can be improved, but combination multiple configurations also enables relevant resources saved.
