In this paper, reduction factor, which describes the degree of service age reduction resulting from the preventive maintenance, is introduced into a condition-based maintenance strategy. The model determining the sequential test intervals is formulated under the constraint that the probability that the failure has not test successfully within each test interval should be less than a fixed threshold. The failure risk of deteriorating system can be reduced via shortening test interval. The effectiveness of the presented methods is illustrated via a numerical case.

Abstract The current aging management plans of passive structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs) are based on preventative maintenance strategies. These strategies involve periodic, manual inspection of passive structures using nondestructive examination (NDE) techniques. This manual approach is prone to errors and contributes to high operation and maintenance costs, making it cost prohibitive. To address these concerns, a transition from the current preventive maintenance strategy to a condition-based maintenance strategy is needed. The research presented in this paper develops a condition-based maintenance capability to detect corrosion in secondary piping structures in NPPs. To achieve this, a data-driven methodology is developed and validated for detecting surrogate corrosion processes in piping structures. A scaled-down experimental test bed is developed to evaluate the corrosion process in secondary piping in NPPs. The experimental test bed is instrumented with tri-axial accelerometers. The data collected under different operating conditions is processed using the Hilbert-Huang Transformation. Distributional features of phase information among the accelerometers were used as features in support vector machine (SVM) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression methodologies to detect changes in the pipe condition from its baseline state. SVM classification accuracy averaged 99% for all models. LASSO classification accuracy averaged 99% for all models using the accelerometer data from the X-direction.

Decision-making for the condition-based maintenance (CBM) of power transformers is critical to their sustainable operation. Existing research exhibits significant shortcomings; neither group decision-making nor maintenance intention is considered, which does not satisfy the needs of smart grids. Thus, a multivariate assessment system, which includes the consideration of technology, cost-effectiveness, and security, should be created, taking into account current research findings. In order to address the uncertainty of maintenance strategy selection, this paper proposes a maintenance decision-making model composed of cloud and vector space models. The optimal maintenance strategy is selected in a multivariate assessment system. Cloud models allow for the expression of natural language evaluation information and are used to transform qualitative concepts into quantitative expressions. The subjective and objective weights of the evaluation index are derived from the analytic hierarchy process and the grey relational analysis method, respectively. The kernel vector space model is then used to select the best maintenance strategy through the close degree calculation. Finally, an optimal maintenance strategy is determined. A comparison and analysis of three different representative maintenance strategies resulted in the following findings: The proposed model is effective; it provides a new decision-making method for power transformer maintenance decision-making; it is simple, practical, and easy to combine with the traditional state assessment method, and thus should play a role in transformer fault diagnosis.
