Innovation and Application of Reliability-Centered Maintenance Technology for Pumped Storage Power Plant

Abstract

With the increasing capacity and scale of pumped storage power plant, the maintenance management and resource input of system equipment are continuously increasing. Exploring and establishing a system engineering method that balances safe production and maintenance resource input has become an important issue that enterprises urgently need to solve. Based on the reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) technology, this paper combines the characteristics of pumped storage unit operation and maintenance management and years of maintenance practice experience to improve and innovate the RCM technology method, forming a "reliability-centered pumped storage unit maintenance strategy optimization technology method" applicable to pumped storage power generation units. This technology method has been applied on the system equipment of pumped storage power generation unit. It shows the application of this technology method has made significant contribution to optimizing equipment maintenance strategies, reducing maintenance workload and the overhaul time.
