Asset Performance Management for Transmission and Distribution

Problem Definition:
Major oil producer’s power systems own and operate numerous critical HV and MV equipment such as switchgears, power transformers, and power cables, which must be highly reliable to minimize production losses. Aging assets require additional monitoring to predict failures in advance, allowing proper planning for repairs or replacements.
EAMEC Scope
- Owner’s Engineering and project management
- Technical review, including project scope and execution strategy development
- Bid document preparation and technical & commercial bid evaluation
- Construction support and sustainment planning
Proposed Solution:
- Implement online monitoring of transformer dissolved gas analyzers, temperature sensors, and partial discharge activities in switchgears and MV/HV cables
- Develop asset health indices and dashboards for transformer test results
Outcomes and Benefits for the Client:
- Increase reliability
- Benefit of $740K per year
- Adding more accurate long-term planning capability for the equipment in the scope
