Knowledge Sharing of Asset Condition Data and Performances

摘要

Power utilities asset managers face a strong drive to maximize the value created through their assets. Important information in such decisions needs knowledge about asset performance. Techniques and diagnostics for performance indication are therefore applied intensively. Consequently knowledge rules for decision support are indispensable. Based upon a research this knowledge exchange aiming at asset performance knowledge sharing is now under consideration. The research was directed at the estimation of the level of interest for such a sharing and was executed via a survey that was distributed amongst more then 330 T&D utilities in approximately 130 countries and states, representing about 1/3rd of the larger transmission and distribution utilities world-wide. This paper describes some of the results of this survey. Besides some supporting information about the analysis of the survey answers, representing the actual needs of the power utilities asset managers and the possible further steps are given.
