Abstract

Now-a-days sustainability achievement in different aspects is an inevitable phenomenon. This is more significant in the case of resource utilisation. Users claim of sustainability achievement can be strengthened by the way of quantifying the various components of sustainability. Moreover, comparison between the new sustainable source and the established traditional one can show the extent of sustainability achievement transparently. The concept of analytics has been used in the present work to fulfil the requirement of computation sequentially. CNG has been taken as a renewable energy source with a view to achieving sustainability. Among the three components of sustainability viz., social, environmental and economic, the economic component has been considered due to the sufficient scope of research on it. Maintenance is a major issue in case of CNG application in engines and significant cost of early equipment failure may be responsible for less sustainability achievement. In the present work, maintenance analytics has been performed for CNG application in engines. Computations for all the four components of analytics have been shown sequentially. Results show that implementation of maintenance action in the middle of random failure region can enhance the useful operation of the engine since, this stage has obtained the priority next to the wear out region.
