Evaluation of Importance of HV Switches According to their Location and Analysis of Protection Fault Logs

Abstract

The paper describes the next part of the work deploying Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) on selected network elements, specifically on the HV switches of the selected distribution company area. The success of the RCM implementation requires appropriate selection of criteria describing the status and a significance of the element and, at the same time, appropriate setting of the assessment of the particular criterion and its weight. We deal in more detail with the analysis of one of the criteria of importance - Evaluation of importance criteria according to their location in the network, and evaluation of the protection fault logs, which are the basis for the evaluation of one of the criteria of the technical condition - Short-circuit history index.
