Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to use well-established methodology strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis – in order to identify the important factors for reliability centered maintenance (RCM) implementation. Design/methodology/approach – The paper demonstrates a SWOT analysis for different 19 frameworks of RCM to make a strategic decision for implementing RCM in different organizations. The various 19 frameworks are grouped together into three clusters, namely Group A, Group B and Group C based on their qualitative or theoretical, quantitative and practical approach, respectively. Findings – The strengths and weaknesses are identified by internal factors while the opportunities and threats are identified by external factors of an organization for each group of frameworks. Also, it was observed that each group of frameworks has a unique set of strengths and weaknesses. Research limitations/implications – In this paper, the SWOT analysis for RCM implementation is limited to the comparison of various 19 RCM frameworks which are available in literatures and based on internal or external factors of an organization. Practical implications – The SWOT analysis also suggests that the implementation of RCM is not an easy task for any practitioner and one should weigh in all the opportunities and threats before arriving at any strategic decision. Originality/value – A unique approach applied to analysis the frameworks of RCM. The SWOT analysis of various RCM frameworks will help the practitioner to take any strategic decision for RCM implementation in an organization.

“…Most researches have been proved that RCM is more cost effective than the traditional approach [10][11][12][13]. However, in a realistic system it may be difficult to apply the RCM framework without quantifying the impact of components on system reliability.…”

-Overhead transmission lines are crucial components in power transmission systems. Welldesigned maintenance strategy for overhead lines is required for power utilities to minimize operating costs, while improving the reliability of the power system. This paper presents a maintenance priority index (MPI) of overhead lines for a reliability centered approach. Proposed maintenance strategy is composed of a state index and importance indices, taking into account a transmission condition and importance in system reliability, respectively. The state index is used to determine the condition of overhead lines. On the other hand, the proposed importance indices indicate their criticality analysis in transmission system, by using a load effect index (LEI) and failure effect index (FEI). The proposed maintenance method using the MPI has been tested on an IEEE 9-bus system, and a numerical result demonstrates that our strategy is more cost effective than traditional maintenance strategies.

In this paper, it is presented the development of an innovative and low-cost robotic mobile system to be employed in inspection of underground electrical distribution lines and pipes. The system is composed of a robot with different sensors (infrared, acoustic, and FEF) which permit to move inside pipes and detect overheated points, partial electrical discharges and the occurrence of cable treeing. It is showed the mechanical structure of the robot, the overall architecture of the system and preliminary results.
