ABSTRACT:
A systematic approach is presented for the development and implementation of cost-effective transmission asset maintenance strategies. The overall concept and methodology are based on transmission reliability and risk management and address the value of preventive maintenance activities. This may help electric network utilities conduct maintenance policy assessment, region-wide criticality analysis, and optimal maintenance resource allocation and task scheduling.
