Reliability centered asset management for medium-voltage deteriorating electrical equipment based on Germany failure statistics

authored by: Xiang Zhang, Jiaosuo Zhang, Ernst Gockenbach
Abstract: The aim of this research work focuses on three basic aspects: at first, the general life and reliability models of electrical equipment are required to evaluate the actual conditions of the electrical equipment; secondly, available maintenance models shall be found to describe actual maintenance actions in continuous processes; thirdly, such a mathematical approach can optimize the maintenance strategies for maximal reliability and minimal costs. This paper demonstrates some actual examples by applying these models and provides the possibility of putting the reliability centered asset management into execution. The systematic quantitative approach can propose different maintenance strategies with the optimum maintenance intervals.
