This paper presents the operational reliability assessment of a remotely controlled siphon system. The siphon system consists of water level switches, air vents, bilge pumps, etc. In this study, the reliability block diagram (RBD) model based on the ExtendSim software is applied to assess the operational reliability of a remotely-controlled siphon system. The Monte-Carlo simulation results from the RBD model demonstrate that the operational availability of the nonrepairable siphon system can be enhanced from 0.683 to 0.855 within a 1-year life cycle by increasing the redundancy for the vulnerable components, such as the water level switch and the air vent. The value can increase to 0.999 when adopting an on-site maintenance strategy. Based on the analysis of multiple scenarios and maintenance strategies, a suitable architecture of the siphon system is proposed herein.
