Subsystem A (crystallization): It consists of two units connected in parallel, one operative and the other in a cold standby state.

Moreover, the cost of maintaining the hot redundant elements in the operational state is usually much greater than the cost of keeping them in the cold standby mode.
The spare module is activated in the presence of a fault in the environment, and consequently the time before activation will be shorter than in the cold standby approach.
On green contribution, the saving of power consumption has been estimated on the basis of switching warm standbys into cold standbys, which amounts for the reduction of CO2 emission.
The redundancy strategies can be in forms of active and cold standby.
In this paper, the effect of adding cold standby redundancy to a general coherent structure at system and component levels is studied.
Photovoltaic systems attained high reliability using cold standby redundant units as depicted in this paper.
