Power assets like transformers, circuit breakers and other critical assets in transmission and distribution systems have been in service well beyond their original intended working life, and will be required to continue performing for years to come. Aging equipment is not just a short-term challenge for the electric power industry but has become a core business driver. A utility's highest expense is an unexpected outage. It not only requires sudden mobilization of the resources but also the downtime during the mobilization and the replacement time adds to the costs. Till today the maintenance of these assets were based on their periodicity of scheduled visits and check lists – called the periodic maintenance. This makes the utilities to spend time on even non-critical assets when a critical assets having a deteriorating behaviour pattern may go un-noticed till either its schedule maintenance day or its failure.
Now there are Asset Health Management tools to equip the utilities to monitor their assets. The earlier asset management systems were basically an excel sheet used to keep track of the utility's assets. They were just like a form listing the name of the equipment, where it is installed and some basic nameplate details. Hence it was more like logistics records than a management system.
In the modern world of digitalization and meeting the utilities challenges, the primary goal of Asset Management is to provide a system for continuously monitoring the asset health. When a problem is detected, a diagnosis of the root cause is reported to a user so that the problem is minimized and the user can turn their efforts to immediately resolving the issue. The Asset Management System will be an enabler to shift from periodic maintenance to predictive/condition based maintenance. With continual monitoring, there is no need to regularly open an asset for exploratory maintenance, information is streamlined throughout the company, and work procedures become predictive rather than reactive. The overall result being lower costs from a smarter, more reliable power grid.
Implementing an Asset Management solution involves 4 steps –
1) Gather the data already available
2) Add new data collection/sensors
3) Aggregate the data
4) Analyze the data
Data Gathering involves inputs from previous records of maintenance that have been done in the past, what kind of system issues have happened, what is the history of that equipment regarding switching surges, number of operations, known problems and asset age. The asset history may be in many forms.
New Data Collection/Sensors involves equipment with integrated sensors and monitoring systems that can communicate with the central system of the Asset Management System. These systems take the data and produce a real-time assessment of the performance of the various pieces of equipment. They also can determine whether the asset is performing correctly and whether maintenance is required. The solution can also provide recommendations as to whether the device should be repaired, replaced or reconditioned based on its importance to the T&D grid.
Aggregating the Data involves conveying the collected (through manual inputs as well as through sensors) data to an e l e c t r o n i c d a t a b a s e f o r consolidation, processing and utilization in creating a complete and clear image of maintenance requirements. In this context a concept called the “internet of things” (IoT) is taking shape in not only consumer, but also industrial and utility devices as more smart devices come online.
Analyzing the data involves the central analytical software that makes sense of the data to guide maintenance activities. The analytics help to predict and prevent critical asset failures with proactive health and performance insights. The typical screens of the tool is as shown on the right:

An Interactive knowledge exchange workshop by ISGAN Knowledge Exchange onDistributed Generation, Microgrids and Smart Metering was conducted from
13 - 15 November 2017, Bangalore
The Interactive knowledge exchange workshop was organized by the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN), in partnership with National Smart Grid Mission, Ministry of Power, Government of India at Central Power Research Institute, Bangalore, India
The objectives of the workshop was to promote the mutual exchange of knowledge and experience for managing smart metering, as well as distributed generation and mirogrids, to highlight national experiences and share key learning from ISGAN countries. The workshop was very informal and had a strong learning focus; the objective was to stimulate a needs-based dialogue regarding pathways and technology choices for these key aspects of the smart grid. The workshop participation was exclusive to government-affiliated organizations and select experts.
thOn 13 November 2017, the participants visited the Smart Grid project at CESC, Mysore. The entire event was hosted by National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM), Government of India.
