What is it about?

In a competitive electric market, maintenance costs brought the necessity of managing the process to increase the efficiency and to extend the asset life time. This study proposes an improved RCAM model to achieve cost-effective maintenance strategies for power transformers of Turkish National Power Transmission System.

Why is it important?

Established Markov models of the existing maintenance procedure and the proposed management strategy provide computing the reliability of the system and the total system costs for current and improved conditions. The results are compared, and optimal parameters are determined providing the best reliability with reasonable costs.

Perspectives

I hope that the implementation of this article will be done and the expected results will be received.
