“…The survey [9] showed that the pulp and paper mills had achieved a much tighter integration of their asset-management IT systems, one had implemented a comprehensive CMMS and the other was in the process of implementing it. On the other hand, none of the surveyed utilities utilized a comprehensive CMMS in support of maintenance operation and planning.…”

Wide-area networks (WANs) are being deployed worldwide at power utilities. By replacing vintage narrowband solutions, broadband communications can now be used for an entire utility enterprise. One new possibility that has opened up is to improve power system maintenance. During the last ten years, the benefits of adequate asset management have become increasingly clear in the power industry due to the economic pressures and aging infrastructure. An apparent tool to improve the asset-management strategies is the implementation of information technology systems that support the operational processes. The impact of these systems can be further enhanced by efficient communications, allowing the proliferation of functionality and data access. This paper describes the initial stages in analyzing the combined effects of enhanced communication and maintenance requirements. It provides a useful maintenance categorization, based on empirical data. Also, areas of improvement for power system maintenance are elucidated together with the benefit of enhanced communications.Index Terms-Asset management, broadband communication, communication, power system control, power system maintenance, supervisory control and data-acquisition (SCADA) system, widearea network (WAN).

Developers of the smart grid have proposed a number of independent smart grid architectures. This has resulted in a lack of common vision and understanding of the common smart grid reference architecture. In particular, there is a lack of understanding of various inter-domain relationships and dependencies among technical and business domains within the smart grid. This paper presents an inter-domain analysis of these complex dependencies among the business and technical domains of the smart grid using Domain-Link Matrices. This inter-domain analysis clarifies and bridges the technical architecture to the business architecture. The aim is to maintain the rationale for the solutions developed in the technical domains in order to solve the problems of the business domains; and, as such, this analysis contributes toward further development and refinement of the smart grid reference architecture.Index Terms-Smart grid architecture, smart grid domain mappings.

Esta investigación presenta una integración de la gestión de activos (Asset Management) y el mantenimiento centrado en confiabilidad (Reliability Center Maintenance - RCM), como una propuesta para plantear una metodología o plan estructurado en la gestión del mantenimiento, en una industria de transformación de plásticos. Se busca establecer si dicha metodología lograría ser aplicada a medianas y grandes industrias colombianas, caracterizadas por tener producciones ininterrumpidas, donde una falla puede representar el paro de la producción, con las implicaciones que esto conlleva. De esta manera el Asset Management utiliza técnicas y herramientas de análisis de confiabilidad para optimizar el desempeño de los activos. Por otra parte, el RCM es una estrategia de análisis sistemática, objetiva y documentada, que se centra en la función que realizan los equipos, donde el objetivo principal es hacer que los esfuerzos de mantenimiento sean dirigidos a mantener dicha función, más que los equipos mismos. Aún así, el tema de la gestión del mantenimiento, se ha visto opacada en las compañías por ser un área que consume grandes cantidades de recursos, que desde el punto de vista contable solo refleja gastos y que no es visto como una inversión a largo plazo. Con esta propuesta se analiza si es posible cambiar, no solo esta percepción, sino también transformar el impacto que tiene la gestión de mantenimiento al interior de las empresas, donde se convierte en un mecanismo que minimiza las pérdidas en producción. Es importante resaltar que las empresas de América Latina son cada vez más conscientes de la necesidad de utilizar una estrategia para la gestión del mantenimiento, con el fin de que sus activos cumplan con los requerimientos de confiabilidad y disponibilidad al menor costo posible (Duarte, 2006), lo que hace oportuno el planteamiento de este proyecto.
