Download or read book Reliability Analysis and Asset Management Applied to Power Distribution written by Carl Johan Wallnerström and published by Patrik Hilber. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are becoming more and more dependent on reliable distribution of electricity. The demand for cost efficiency has at the same time increased since new incentives have appeared. This book presents methods for finding a balance between the aims of high reliability and cost effectiveness. A key aspect is to evaluate the impacts of outages and the benefits of risk reducing investments. Put in a wider context, this is asset management, which can be summarized as the art of finding a balance between risk, cost and performance. This book is built on the experience of a wide number of case studies of different reliability projects and is focused on applicable tools for the reader. Basically the book gathers the most important parts of the asset management process into one place.
Download or read book Reliability Analysis for Asset Management of Electric Power Grids written by Robert Ross and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to facilitate statistically well-founded decisions in the management of assets of an electricity grid Effective and economic electric grid asset management and incident management involve many complex decisions on inspection, maintenance, repair and replacement. This timely reference provides statistically well-founded, tried and tested analysis methodologies for improved decision making and asset management strategy for optimum grid reliability and availability. The techniques described are also sufficiently robust to apply to small data sets enabling asset managers to deal with early failures or testing with limited sample sets. The book describes the background, concepts and statistical techniques to evaluate failure distributions, probabilities, remaining lifetime, similarity and compliancy of observed data with specifications, asymptotic behavior of parameter estimators, effectiveness of network configurations and stocks of spare parts. It also shows how the graphical representation and parameter estimation from analysis of data can be made consistent, as well as explaining modern upcoming methodologies such as the Health Index and Risk Index. Key features: Offers hands-on tools and techniques for data analysis, similarity index, failure forecasting, health and risk indices and the resulting maintenance strategies. End-of-chapter problems and solutions to facilitate self-study via a book companion website. The book is essential reading for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in electrical engineering, quality engineers, utilities and industry strategists, transmission and distribution system planners, asset managers and risk managers.
