| Summary: | Transformer represents a substantial asset. Transformer’s ageing has recently
become a great concern and challenge to all electric utilities around the world.
Utilities today face the twin challenges of satisfying increasingly high standards for
reliability and service quality while at the same time reducing costs and improving
earnings. Asset management has been recognized as their framework for allocating
capital and operation/maintenance budgets. The challenge is to align the business
requirement and the scientific and technical knowledge of the assets in order to make
business decisions. There are various management concepts, maintenance
methodologies and asset technical evaluations that are currently exist and practiced
in the industries. The focus of this project is to align transformer ageing knowledge
to the business process of asset management. The methodology employed to produce
the decision making process is through integration and application of existing
knowledge in asset management with PAS 55 as a benchmark. As a result, an asset
manager’s decision making process is proposed, which link the business requirement
and technical knowledge of asset condition, using risk-based management. By
linking these requirements, asset managers will be able to quantify risk, justify
expenditures which will meet the technical requirement of asset condition and in line
with the business plan |
