Introduction :

 Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, or queues. Queueing theory is
considered a branch of operations research because the results are often used when making
business decisions about the resources needed to provide service. The theory enables
mathematical analysis of several related processes, including arriving at the end of the
queue, waiting in the queue (essentially a storage process), and being served at the front of
the queue. The theory permits the derivation and calculation of several performance
measures including the average waiting time in the queue or the system, the expected
number waiting or receiving service, and the probability of encountering the system in
certain states, such as empty, full, having an available server or having to wait a certain
time to be served.

Power supply model

We are taking a problem which can also be analysed as a queuing problem.

Let there be an electric circuit supplying power to ‘a’ consumers. Further, let the requirements
and supply schedules follow the poisson distribution with parameters λ and μ respectively.
If at any time t, there are n consumers in the queue for the supply of current, then
λn = λ(a-n)
μ=n μ

The difference equations defining the system can be constructed in next page
