Organizational Management Technologies for Maintenance and Repair of Power Grid Company Facilities

摘要

The article deals with the issue of organizational management of equipment maintenance and repair in a power grid company. A new concept of management has been formulated which reconciles the controversial requirements of cost efficiency and reliability. The peculiar feature of the proposed concept is that, firstly, the condition of company's electrical engineering and infrastructural facilities is monitored; secondly, and the equipment performance analysis is carried out taking into account probable breakdowns; thirdly, economic losses from equipment failures are evaluated; fourthly, power consumers become categorized; fifthly, repair works become rated by their urgency. The proposed concept has the integrating idea of shaping a balance of production features, risks and maintenance and repair costs. Due to introduction of the maintenance and repair management based on the newly formulated concept, the repair schedules become optimized in terms of cutting down the likeliness of failures and retaining the company's economic efficiency. Some ingenious tools are offered for implementing the organizational management technology: a graphical chart of multi-dimensional positioning of facilities in the "customer categorization - facility technical condition" coordinates; a method of calculating the economic losses; a consumer category matrix; a summary table of repair urgency rating. The herein proposed matching concept of organizational management is noted for adaptability and multi-aspect analysis of the factors reflecting the interests of grid companies and power consumers. The expediency and practicality of the proposed organizational management technology are confirmed with calculations of an optimal maintenance and repair scheme as exemplified on a regional power grid company.
