Asset Management
• Systematically applying all available asset knowledge to
maximize over-all competitiveness

• PAS 55:
- Published by British Standards Institute (BSI)
- ISO standard under preparation

• “Asset management are the systematic and coordinated

activities and practices through which an organization
optimally and sustainably manages its assets and asset
systems, their associated performance, risks and
expenditures over their life cycles for the purpose of
achieving its organizational strategic plan.”

PAS 55 Asset Management System
• PAS55 provides:
- Minimum standards for good
asset mgmt
- Defines what to do, not how

• Mainly, it is a combination
of known elements

• ETN Technical Committee (TC)

objective is to focus on new
opportunities to realise PAS55:
- Exchange of best practices
- Initiation of development
projects

What is new?
• Challenges:
- Increased competitiveness in energy market
- Increased awareness for environment
- Ageing workforce and reduced attractiveness of technical
career
• Technology Opportunities:
- Rapid IT development:
• Processing and analysis capacities, storage, networking, data
integration, visualization, …
- Techniques for condition monitoring and NDE
- Advanced risk mgmt techniques (e.g. RCM, …)

How to use these technologies to improve gas turbine plant

specific performance and address the new challenges?

Examples of best practices
• Use of RCM for CC Power Plants
(Alstom, Switzerland)
• Method for production optimization of
a pool of power plants based on
suitable neural models that represent
the physical-chemical model behaviour
(University of Roma TRE, Italy)
• Improvement of data quality by means of
observability analysis
(University of Cranfield, UK)
• Techno-Economic-Environmental risk analysis
(TERA) for power plant selection and deployment
(University of Cranfield, UK)
• Oil debris monitoring
(VBR Turbine Partners, Netherlands)

Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)
The seven basic questions
• Process to determine what must be done to ensure that
any physical asset continues to do what its users want it
to do in its present operating context
(RCM II, by J. Moubray)

• RCM entails asking 7 questions about the asset or

system under review.
- What are the functions and associated performance
standards of the asset in its present operation context?
- In what ways does it fail to fulfil its functions?
- What causes each functional failure?
- What happens when each failure occurs?
- In what way does each failure matter?
- What can be done to predict or prevent each failure?
- What should be done if a suitable pro-active task cannot
be found?

Function

• Primary functions
(e.g. produce a certain
amount of power)
• Secondary functions:
- Environmental integrity
- Safety / structural integrity
- Control
- Comfort
- Containment
- Appearance
- Protection
- Economy / efficiency
- Superfluous functions

If we cannot define what is expected, it is difficult to define

optimum strategy for the equipment

Control and Operability (ConOp)

ConOp: a different approach:

• Use of parameters and guide words in different
system nodes to elicit functional failures
• Compare to HAZOP study

In some cases it is easier to start by defining how a

function can be “not fulfilled”
