Abstract

Optimizing maintenance strategies for power transmission components is crucial to prevent failure in the system while maintaining and enhancing the overall economic efficiency. Condition-based maintenance can fulfill this and in the present paper health index-based efficient condition assessment is applied as an essential input to this type of maintenance. A method for the calculation of the health index of primary transmission system components is presented and discussed. Condition-based assessment is utilized for developing a calculation method for evaluating the health index at different levels in the system. The health index of each component is calculated by using the Weighting and Scoring Method. Several factors affecting the condition of different equipment are considered in the algorithm including environmental effects, mechanical stress, and accessibility issues. The special focus is on assigning a numeric value to the health of individual sub-components of the equipment to plan the condition-based predictive maintenance of power system components. The data indicate that in contrast to considering the health index of the entire system, making decisions considering the individual componet health indices can result in a more reliable operation.
