An Asset-centric Approach Targets Business Challenges at Nova Scotia Power

摘要

In the face of a rapidly changing energy environment Nova Scotia Power Inc. (NSPI) has opted to adopt a comprehensive asset management approach across its fleet of generating stations. This approach, inspired by PAS-55 and the subsequent ISO55000 series of asset management standards, has an asset-centric focus. NSPI has been able to apply- to comparable asset classes across the fleet - common maintenance systems, identical planning practices, fleet wide reliability programmes, risk profiling and asset decision making. This has resulted in the most effective use of resources and investment dollars and therefore the lowest long term cost for customers.
