Integrated Preventive and Predictive Maintenance Markov Model for Circuit Breakers Equipped With Condition Monitoring

The Circuit Breaker (CB) is one of the most important equipment in power systems. CB must operate reliably to protect power systems as well as to perform tasks such as load disconnection, normal interruption, and fault current interruption. Therefore, the reliable operation of CB can affect the security and stability of power network. In this paper, effects of Condition Monitoring (CM) of CB on...

Improving Periodic Preventive Maintenance Strategies Using Condition Monitoring Data

Due to reduction in petroleum production and aging production facilities, the Norwegian oil and gas industry is interested in optimization maintenance strategies and reducing costs. Currently the maintenance strategies are based on predetermined periodic (calendar or use time) preventive maintenance strategies that are developed based on statistical data and/or recommendation from the manufactu...

Anomaly detection in monitoring sensor data for preventive maintenance

Today, many industrial companies must face problems raised by maintenance. In particular, the anomaly detection problem is probably one of the most challenging. In this paper we focus on the railway maintenance task and propose to automatically detect anomalies in order to predict in advance potential failures. We first address the problem of characterizing normal behavior. In order to extract ...

Warranty and discrete preventive maintenance

Preventive maintenance actions over the warranty period have an impact on the warranty servicing cost to the manufacturer and the cost to the buyer of fixing failures over the life of the product after the warranty expires. However, preventive maintenance costs money and is worthwhile only when these costs exceed the reduction in other costs. The paper deals with a model to determine when preve...
