Abstract

Reliable and resilient power transmission networks serve as vital for sustainable development and uninterrupted electricity supply. Effective maintenance programs are necessary to comply with reliability and sustainability requirements in the power sector. To that end, RAM (reliability, availability, and maintainability) assessments can provide efficient maintenance services that minimize adverse consequences and increase productivity at the lowest possible cost. We employ a statistical framework to evaluate RAM principles, including data acquisition, homogenization, trend hypothesis validation, and parameter estimation. The RAM evaluation of power transmission networks identifies primary bottlenecks in subsystems based on failure and repair behavior trends, which should be prioritized. To find the optimal maintenance policies for each subsystem, we adapt a Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) approach, taking costs, availability, and dependability into account. The results of this approach can help improve the operational performance and sustainability of power transmission networks.
