%X Many human activities are electricity-dependent. As major providers of electricity, the performance of high-power stations represents a vital part of any national economy. In the present study, we identified the distribution fitting to TBF. The distribution fitting based on failure data collection, calculated TBF , plotted the histogram for TBF and matched the plot on the continuous distributions' functions have been investigated. Then, the most valid distribution was found to be the Three-parameter Weibull distribution. Shape, scale and location parameters values were 0.75169, 32.125 and 1.9375, respectively.
