Reliability Centered Asset Management for Medium-Voltage Deteriorating Electrical Equipment Based on Germany Failure Statistics

The aim of this research work focuses on three basic aspects: at first, the general life and reliability models of electrical equipment are required to evaluate the actual conditions of the electrical equipment; secondly, available maintenance models shall be found to describe actual maintenance actions in continuous processes; thirdly, such a mathematical approach can optimize the maintenance strategies for maximal reliability and minimal costs.
