Reliability Centered Asset Management for Power Distribution Systems

The aim of this research work is to focus on two basic problems: first, the general life and reliability models of electrical equipment are looked for to evaluate the actual conditions of the electrical equipment; second, a maintenance model should be found to describe actual maintenance actions in time-series processes. Such a mathematical approach would optimize the maintenance strategies for maximal reliability and minimal costs. This paper will demonstrate some new research results by applying these developed models.
