ADOPTING THE SPLIT ASSET MANAGEMENT DECISION-MAKING PROCESS MODEL FOR ECONOMISER MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT
Coal-fired power stations are widely used throughout the world to generate electricity. The economiser is a critical component for efficient operation of this type of power station, but one which is notoriously prone to expensive breakdowns, so economiser maintenance has attracted much attention from asset management researchers and engineers. To manage economisers efficiently, we need to make optimal economiser maintenance decisions. However, making such decisions is difficult because they involve multiple, uncertain inputs such as future electricity demand and market prices, and economiser health predictions. Effective processes for making such complex decisions are still lacking. A recently developed generic split asset management decision making process is promising for industrial applications, but needs to be validated by instantiating it for specific situations. Here we do this by developing two important decision making processes for economiser maintenance management based on the split asset management decision making process. The result shows that the split decision making process is applicable to industry, and can be used to improve economiser maintenance decisions in practice.
