Maintenance Strategies Based on RCM

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 due to 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.
