We present a dynamic analysis of the Gnedenko repairable system with multiple working vacations, which is comprised of $ N $ operating units and one warm standby unit. The system dynamics are governed by partial differential equations with integral boundary conditions. By applying the $ C_0- $semigroup theory, we establish the well-posedness of the system and the strong convergence of the time-dependent solution to its steady-state solution. Numerical examples illustrate the effect of key parameters on time-dependnet reliability indices, providing practical insights into the system performance.
