Maintenance Management of a Transmission Substation with Optimization

The paper deals with the reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) of a transmission substation. The process of the planning and actual performance of maintenance was carried out using an optimization algorithm. This maintenance procedure represents the maintenance management and included reliability of the power system operation, maintenance costs, and associated risks. The originality of the paper lies in the integrated treatment of all maintenance processes that are included in the pre-processing and used in the optimization process for reliability-centered maintenance. The optimization algorithm of transmission substation maintenance was tested in practice on the equipment and components of an existing 400/110–220/110 kV substation in the Slovenian electricity transmission system. A comparison analysis was also carried out of the past time-based maintenance (TBM) and the new reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), on the basis of the optimization algorithm.

ANALISIS RELIABILITY CENTERED MAINTENANCE (RCM) PADA ALAT BONGKAR MUAT RUBBER TYRE GANTRY CRANE (RTGC) DI PT XXX

The loading and Unloading operational activities in port often run into obstacle, because happened malfunction occurrence of the equipment used. Failure to operate the equipment has resulted in downtime decreased of company productivity. Therefore, a system is needed maintenance of planning in order to produce the equipment that can be operated optimally. This research was choosen the company PT. XXX which is a company that enganged in the field maintenance of equipments port operational (quayside container crane, rubber tyre gantry crane, gantry luffing crane, and others) the place where the equipment maintenance system, especially the rubber tyre gantry crane (RTGC) which has been done are still a breakdown maintenance and corrective maintenance. The aim of this research is to analyze by method of reliability centered maintenance (RCM) to able to determined the optimal maintenance and it can be predict steps to overcome the damage that might will happen in the next period based on existing data. From data processing and analysis was obtained that the components most frequently damaged on the equipment of RTGC, cause of failure, selection decision and recommendations for maintenance systems are based on Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM).

Interval Waktu Pemeliharaan Berdasarkan Reliability Centered Maintanance (RCM) Pada Kinerja Saluran Udara Tegangan Menengah (SUTM) Perusahaan Listrik Negara

The State Electricity Company (PLN) serves all Indonesian people from Sabang to Merauke with overhead lines and cable lines. The frequency of blackouts in an area due to disturbances in the channel. PLN seeks to suppress disturbances by carrying out maintenance, namely turning it off or without being extinguished. Medium Voltage Air Lines (SUTM) are more frequent disturbances. The worst damage happened to the conductors, Jumpers, and insulators. Damage will often occur if it is not predictable. In order to find out when damage occurs, a method based on Predictive Maintenance is used, namely maintenance based on historical disturbance data statistics. Predictive Maintenance can be realized by using Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). From the results of RCM calculations and statistical data on one PLN unit, there is a new value for predictive maintenance time intervals, for conductors maintenance schedule must be carried out every 2 days, Jumpers every 12 days, and isolators every 16 days before serious damage occurs and widespread blackout Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) melayani seluruh masyarakat Indonesia dari Sabang sampai Merauke dengan saluran udara dan saluran kabel. Frekuensi terjadi pemadaman pada suatu wilayah karena adanya gangguan pada saluran tersebut. PLN berupaya untuk menekan gangguan dengan melakukan pemeliharaan, yaitu dipadamkan atau tanpa dipadamkan. Saluran Udara Tegangan Menengah (SUTM) lebih sering terjadi gangguan. Kerusakan terparah ternyata terjadi pada konduktor, Jumper dan isolator. Kerusakan akan sering terjadi apabila tidak mampu diprediksi. Untuk dapat mengetahui kapan akan terjadi kerusakan digunakan metode berbasis Predictive Maintanance, yaitu pemeliharaan berdasarkan statistik data historis gangguan. Predictive Maintenance dapat terwujud dengan menggunakan Relliability Centered Maintanance (RCM). Dari hasil perhitungan RCM dan data statsik pada salah satu unit PLN, maka terdapat nilai baru intuk interval waktu pemeliharaan secara predictive, untuk konduktor harus dilakukan penjadwalan pemeliharaan setiap 2 hari, Jumper setiap 12 hari, dan Isolator setiap 16 hari sebelum terjadi kerusakan yang parah dan pemadaman meluas.

Reliability-Centered Maintenance

Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) is a systematic methodology for preventing failures. This article begins by discussing the history of RCM and uses Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) all-industry standard JA1011 as its model to describe the key characteristics of an RCM process. It then expands on questions involved in RCM process, offering definitions when necessary. Next, the article describes the approach of RCM to failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), the failure management policies available under RCM, and the criteria of RCM for deciding when a specific failure management policy is technically feasible. Then, after discussing the ways that RCM classifies failure effects in terms of consequences, it describes how RCM uses failure consequences to identify the best failure management policy for each failure mode. Next, the building blocks of RCM are put together to create a failure management program. The article ends with a discussion on some practical issues pertaining to RCM that lie outside the scope of SAE JA1011.
