While electricity demand grows up and the nature of loads becomes more challenging, a short interruption of power can expose lives and impact economies.
Whether you are Grid operators, Developers or Investors, Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) investigations during development phase are of great interest to analyze the performance of your electrical system in an early stage in order to mitigate risks and optimize operation.
Our RAM evaluation procedure is based on the Network Reduction method presented in IEEE Std. 493, this procedure is suitable for evaluating reliability in systems which consist of serial and parallel subsystems.
To achieve RAM requirements, we focus our analysis to the following main concerns:
Forced outages (FO)
Scheduled outages (SO), annual maintenance
Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), including spare parts policy
System / component redundancy
OBJECTIVES
Calculate the MTBF
Calculate the MTTR
Calculate the Failure rate
Calculate the Unplanned Availability
Calculate the Planned Availability
Calculate the Total availability
Calculate the spare units
