Maintenance plan based on RCM

Today as the power system is becoming increasingly high in voltage, large in capacity and automatic in operation, there are even more rigorous requirements for equipment maintenance and its costs are rising sharply. This paper attempts to explore the principle of the RCM (reliability-centered maintenance) strategies, which takes into consideration the condition of electrical equipment and its importance in the power network. The actual condition of electrical equipment can be identified based on various criteria and its importance in the power network shows the effect of equipment faults on power network safety and economic benefits. The RCM strategies can be adopted to find out which equipment must be maintained first
