NEPLAN-Maintenance (RCM, CBM, TBM)

This document describes the software of the NEPLAN-Maintenance module. It is not

intended to give an overview over the maintenance strategies. A good overview over

different maintenance strategies and the NEPLAN-Maintenance philosophy can be

found here:

www.neplan.ch/downloads/public/NEPLAN-Maintenance-Strategies_e.pdf

The main features of the NEPLAN-Maintenance module are:

- Available sub-modules are:

o HV Components

o HV AIS Substations

o HV GIS Substations

o HV/MV Overhead line

o MV Substations

o MV Local Substations

o MV Cables- Data can be stored in any database (e.g. Oracle, MS-Access, SQL Server

etc.)

- Allows easy integration to existing ERP systems (e.g. SAP)

- Assessment criterion can be added or changed by the user

- Allows quickly to assess the conditions of the components

- Different charts give a useful overview over the overall conditions of the

components- A budgeting evaluation tools is available, which calculates the costs for the

following maintenance strategies:

o TBM Estimation (estimated time based maintenance)

o TBM (time based maintenance)

o CBM (condition based maintenance)

o RCM (reliability based maintenance)

- Integrates smoothly with our famous NEPLAN-Reliability module

- Can be excellently used a for reinvestment strategies

Overview NEPLAN-Maintenance Module

NEPLAN-Maintenance Software

The NEPLAN-Maintenanceassessment sheet editor allows theuser to freely configure any

assessment sheets withhis own criterions.

Component Assessment in NEPLAN-Maintenance

The picture below shows on the left side the assessment sheet of the currentcomponent. The diagram shows all conditions (y-axes) and all importances (x-axes)of all components (in this case circuit breakers). The actual circuit breaker to assessis colored differently. The user can define any filter to reduce the amount of displayedcomponents.

The condition of each component can easily be assessed with the freely configurable

assessment sheets.

Budgeting Evaluation Tool in NEPLAN-Maintenance

In NEPLAN-Maintenance a budgeting tool is included, which allows evaluating thecosts of the different maintenance strategies:

o TBM Estimation (estimated time based maintenance)

o TBM (time based maintenance)

o CBM (condition based maintenance)

o RCM (reliability based maintenance)

At your fingertips: budgeting of RCM and TBM can be easily compared

Chart Evaluation Tool in NEPLAN-Maintenance

The integrated chart manager shows for example the influence of each criterion to

the overall conditions of all components. Each criterion can be assigned to a cluster(e.g. operating condition, component type, etc.). NEPLAN allows evaluating theoverall conditions according to these clusters.

This chart shows the influence ofdifferent clusters to the overallconditions of all components.It shows for example the effectof all criterions which belong tothe Operating Conditions clustercompared to the other effectsof the other clusters.

Integration with NEPLAN-Reliability Module

The NEPLAN-Maintenance module can make use of the calculated results of ourfamous NEPLAN-Reliability module. The NEPLAN-Maintenance module integratessmoothly to the NEPLAN single line diagram. The conditions C, importance I and thedistances D (function of condition and importance, D = f(C, I)) can be displayed onthe single line diagram. The coloring according to C, I and D shows very quicklywhich components must be replaced or maintained first.

The NEPLAN-Maintenance module is at the moment the only RCM module on

the market, which integrates, with a robust network reliability module.

Display of the maintenance and reliability results in the single line diagram

Result displayedat the circuit breakers

The results from the reliability calculation are combined with the condition evaluationof the maintenance module and displayed in the NEPLAN single line diagram. Thecoloring shows which equipment have to be replaced or maintained or just observed.
