Maintenance strategies and energy efficiency: a review

Abstract

PurposeThis paper reviews the literature on maintenance strategies for energy efficiency as a potential maintenance approach. The purpose of this paper is to identify the main concept and common principle for each maintenance strategy for energy efficiency.Design/methodology/approachA literature review has been carried out on maintenance and energy efficiency. The paper systematically classified the literature into three maintenance strategies (e.g. inspection-based maintenance [IBM], time-based maintenance [TBM] and condition-based maintenance [CBM]). The concept and principle of each maintenance strategy are identified, compared and discussed.FindingsEach maintenance strategy's main concept and principle are identified based on the following criteria: data required and collection, data analysis/modeling and decision-making. IBM relies on human senses and common senses to detect energy faults. Any detected energy losses are quantified to energy cost. A payback period analysis is commonly used to justify corrective actions. On the other hand, CBM monitors relevant parameters that indicate energy performance indicators (EnPIs). Data analysis or deterioration modeling is needed to identify energy degradation. For the diagnostics approach, the energy degradation is compared with the threshold to justify corrective maintenance. The prognostics approach estimates when energy degradation reaches its threshold; therefore, proper maintenance tasks can be planned. On the other hand, TBM uses historical data from energy monitoring. Data analysis or deterioration modeling is required to identify degradation. Further analysis is performed to find the optimal time to perform a maintenance task. The comparison between housekeeping, IBM and CBM is also discussed and presented.Practical implicationsThe literature on the classification of maintenance strategies for energy efficiency has been limited. On the other hand, the ISO 50001 energy management systems standard shows the importance of maintenance for energy efficiency (MFEE). Therefore, to bridge the gap between research and industry, the proposed concept and principle of maintenance strategies will be helpful for practitioners to apply maintenance strategies as energy conservation measures in implementing ISO 50001 standard.Originality/valueThe novelty of this paper is in-depth discussion on the concept and principle of each maintenance strategy (e.g. housekeeping or IBM, TBM and CBM) for energy efficiency. The relevant literature for each maintenance strategy was also summarized. In addition, basic rules for maintenance strategy selection are also proposed.

Advancing Offshore Oil and Gas Facilities: A Comprehensive Review of Innovative Maintenance Strategies for Enhanced Reliability and Efficiency

“…While each of these traditional maintenance strategies has its merits, a comparative analysis is vital to identify their respective strengths and weaknesses. Preventive maintenance, with its emphasis on proactive planning and scheduled interventions, offers the potential to reduce downtime and enhance asset reliability (Firdaus et al, 2023). On the other hand, corrective maintenance serves as a necessary contingency for handling unexpected failures, but it does not contribute to long-term reliability and may lead to production losses (Angiolillo et al, 2007).…”

Fault Diagnosis of Inter-Turn Fault in Permanent Magnet-Synchronous Motors Based on Cycle-Generative Adversarial Networks and Deep Autoencoder

“…Therefore, it is of great significance to diagnose ITFs in PMSMs. In the context of contemporary research on energy-based maintenance (EBM) and sustainable maintenance (SM), proactive fault prediction and prevention play pivotal roles in mitigating energy consumption and subsequently reducing carbon dioxide emissions and environmental hazards [2]. Given the significant impact of fault prediction and prevention on energy conservation and environmental sustainability, fault diagnosis assumes heightened significance.…”
