Abstract: | This paper presents a new approach, termed performance-based maintenance, can utilize past and ongoing equipment maintenance records to prioritize electrical distribution equipment with greater detail. The proposed scheme provides cost savings and useful in identifying equipment that can have a lesser level of future maintenance, or extended maintenance cycles. The integration of multiple inputs is required to minimize the risks associated with improper equipment prioritization. The savings can be redirected to areas such as predictive diagnostics, which can provide for greater improvements in reliability while also reducing the over all spend on maintenance. |
