3 Conference at a Glance OVERVIEW Traditional electric utility station maintenance programs have historically tracked and initiated maintenance tasks based on predetermined calendar intervals, followed up with corrective actions as required, and then manually recorded all results. The way we perform maintenance, however, is changing rapidly: additional tasks and complexities are required due to new technologies and innovative procedures. There are now numerous initiatives that are changing traditional maintenance practices, the methods for collecting and analyzing large quantities of data, and how evidence of wear or degradation is gathered. These initiatives enable more effective evaluation of station asset condition to determine what maintenance is required, or even whether it is necessary. Computer Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) was developed to use historical data for modifying maintenance triggers and intervals, but many additional functions may also be built into a CMMS. Maintenance tasks need to be revisited, revised, and/or include additional items in maintenance programs to make the most effective use of these systems and to modify CMMS to meet new requirements. Collecting, submitting, storing, and reviewing all this data presents new challenges not previously considered in traditional maintenance programs. Regulatory requirements and data security concerns must also be taken into account when updating maintenance programs. TOPICS Changes in Maintenance Practices and/or Philosophies Technology Changes / Innovations in Maintenance Practices Health Indicators / Predictors / Risk Identifiers for Maintenance Practices Innovations to Improve Reliability / Availability and/or Expected Lifecycle / Resiliency of Station Equipment Innovations in Performance Measurement and Performance Indicators in Station Maintenance Feeding, Tracking, Reviewing, and Analyzing Data for AM Programs WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Substation Managers and Maintenance Supervisors Transmission Station Engineers and Engineering Supervisors Asset Managers Consultants, Service Providers, and Contractors, in partnership with a utility Equipment Manufacturers and Vendors partnering with a utility GOALS Provide information on innovative techniques, technologies, materials and tools employed in the planning and execution of utilities station equipment maintenance. Identify opportunities to improve on station reliability and resiliency, while keeping maintenance cost-effective. Examine changing goals, requirements, and methods of maintenance programs to provide information to other parts of the utility organization or others. Learn from others who have already adopted or investigated the use of new methods in executing and planning maintenance activities.
