Primary Functions
EcoStruxure™ Grid Asset Performance offers an intuitive user interface and these functions.
- Asset Models
- Asset descriptive data including asset category, asset class, and location data.
- Network Model
- Asset location hierarchy and map view.
- Condition Assessment
- Algorithms and rules to calculate health index based on observed, measured, and computed field data (e.g., Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) of oil insulated transformers).
- Asset Aging
- Methodology to evaluate the apparent asset age considering the condition in which it operates.
- Health Index
- Calculation of asset health index leveraging the UK Distribution
Network Operators (DNO) Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (OFGEM)
Common Asset Indices Methodology standard, taking into consideration:
-
Location factor (distance from coast, altitude, indoor/outdoor installation)
-
Duty factor (asset utilization rate vs. nominal ratings)
-
Health modifiers (age, observed conditions, measured conditions)
-
Reliability modifier (Utility specific rule)
-
- Probability of Failure
- Calculation of asset likelihood to fail using one or a combination of: condition assessment, predictive model, aging, CNAIM.
- Consequence of Failure
- Asset criticality assessment defined in the UK DNO OFGEM Common
Asset Indices Methodology standard, and taking into account:
-
Financial consequences (costs to have the asset repaired and back to operations after failure)
-
Safety consequences (costs of injury/death of staff/public caused by asset failure)
-
Environmental consequences (costs of oil leakage, SP6 leakage, fire hazard or produced waste caused by asset failure)
-
Network performance consequences (costs of non-delivered energy)
-
- Risk Assessment
- Delivery of risk matrix combining asset probability of failure with criticality/consequences. Matrix shows the quantity of assets plotted in the matrix and supports maintenance/repair/replace decisions.
- Investment scenarios
- Generation of a multi-year investment scenario considering the asset performance, risk analysis and additional criteria such as budget and resources availability.
