Abstract

In the development and deployment of both tethered and autonomous High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS), flight modules such as hexacopter and octocopter with 6 or 8 rotors are most often used. The primary focus of this article is to compute the reliability of tethered HAPS by analyzing the effectiveness of their redundant rotor systems. To measure the performance of such systems, it is convenient to consider mathematical models as k-out-of-n models. Although Markov models have extensively been reported to analyze the reliability of repairable k-out-of-n models, this work introduces an alternative and more thorough methodology. In this work, a semi-Markov model (SMM) is proposed to calculate the probability of rotors being operational after the failure of some rotors in order to analyze system reliability. We emphasize that an SMM model is more appropriate as it provides a more accurate assessment of the probability of system failure over time through non-exponential sojourn time. Further, the efficacy of the proposed SMM is studied through the evaluation of steady-state availability, mean time to failure and reliability. Overall, the findings of this study enhance our comprehension of the reliability of repairable systems and extend the existing knowledge base of HAPS reliability analysis.
