Management of technical condition of heat and power facilities based on a risk-oriented approach

Ensuring the uninterrupted production of electric and thermal energy is a priority in the generating equipment operation. Nowadays the management of the equipment state at most of Russia’s energy enterprises is based on a system of scheduled preventive maintenance. This system does not allow taking into account the economic component of technological impacts, which, in turn, leads either to “under maintenance” or to “over-servicing” of equipment. All energy companies are faced with the task of optimizing equipment costs, while ensuring the required level of reliability. To solve this problem, production asset management systems are used. The main task of managing production assets is to ensure a balance between equipment costs and the risks of its failure. The result of the implementation of asset management systems is the formation of balanced plans for repairs, replacements, upgrades and maintenance of equipment.
