Maintenance Strategy Optimization for Complex Power Systems Susceptible to Maintenance Delays and Operational Dynamics

Maintenance Optimization for Power Distribution Systems

Akademisk avhandling som med tillstånd av Kungl Tekniska Högskolan framlägges till offentlig granskning för avläggande av teknologie doktorsexamen, fredagen den 18:e april, Abstract Maximum asset performance is one of the major goals for electric power distribution system operators (DSOs). To reach this goal minimal life cycle cost and maintenance optimization become crucial while meeting deman...

Maintenance management decision model for preventive maintenance strategy on production equipment

In industries, Preventive Maintenance (PM) is not a new practice to minimise the sudden breakdown of production machine. PM will be performed at predetermine intervals to provide a balance between failure cost and component utilisation (aging). However, most of PM interval is based on experience or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommendations. Consequently, the benefits from PM are not...

Data Mining for Maintenance of Complex Systems

The operation and maintenance of modern sensorequipped systems such as aircraft generates vast amounts of complex data. Proper use of this data to predict or explain component failures may lead to saving of several thousands of dollars, reducing the number of delays, and increasing the overall level of safety. The field of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) has delivered a variety of techni...

Mobile Monitoring and Maintenance of Power Systems

Deregulation of power industry in the US and energy crisis in some parts of the world put forward formidable challenges that need to be overcome for successful operation of power networks in the new environment. Monitoring of electric power systems in real-time for reliability, aging status, and presence of incipient faults requires distributed processing of vast amounts of data from distribute...
