Reliability modeling of TCR–FC type SVC using Markov process.

Highlights: [•] Different components of TCR–FC type SVC are introduced. [•] Using Markov process, a reliability Markov model for TCR–FC type SVC is obtained. [•] An equivalent three-state model for TCR–FC type SVC is proposed. [•] A sensitivity analysis for the availability of the equivalent model is carried out. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
