“…Industries have used different ways and processes to implement R/R, depending on the internal strategy and the expected benefits. In industries that have applied refurbishment, the following approaches were considered: an internal owned strategy was used by [25][26][27][28]30]; an economic analysis was performed by [23,24]; analytical models were developed by [33,34] to simulate the effects of the remanufacturing on REB, and a retrospective analysis of maintenance strategies was conducted by [31]. On the other hand, in the industries that have applied to remanufacture, [1,[18][19][20][21], an LCA to calculate the impacts of the remanufactured items was to carry out.…”

Several factors have led to an increase in the focus on sustainable development. In this context, the concept of Circular Economy (CE) has gained tremendous momentum in research and implementation. Fitted into CE’s concept, the Life Extension Strategies (LES) have been popular among industrial practitioners, regulators, policymakers, and academics from different industries due to the several benefits of these strategies. The general scope of this study is to approach LES within the industrial environment. The main goal is to understand how Remanufacturing and Refurbishment (R/R) strategies have been applied in different industry types. To achieve this goal, we carried out a systematic literature review whereby we captured some examples of R/R applications that demonstrate the potential of application to various industries (e.g., aerospace/aeronautics, energy power, and automotive industries) and equipment types (e.g., nuclear reactor, hydropower plant, and turbine blades). We also described some strategies to implement LES (e.g., economic analysis and life cycle assessment) and the different impacts achieved or expected (life extension, cost-saving, and efficiency enhancement). Moreover, we discussed three specific points concerning R/R application, the LES categorization, and the inexistence of a multi-dimensional framework to LES. Finally, we provided a set of systematized information about R/R.

“…TSC-TCR with quick changing of loads at the LV level of distribution is planned to cut back the harmonics discharged by the distribution system [32], in which the logic of fuzzy and ANN is used to find solutions of non-linear delay angles that are used in the triggering of thyristors in TCR. A device is also used known as SVC is proposed for controlling VAr and also helps in reducing harmonics [33][34][35].…”

Supplying quality power to consumers have been of great concern for power researchers and utilities since last few decades. Power quality issues include voltage sag/swell mitigation, harmonics reduction, load balancing, voltage flicker elimination, and fault current limiting. Various control strategies have been suggested in the literature for power quality improvement. Custom power devices are quite useful in power quality enhancement. Research on power quality enhancement has mostly concentrated on offline studies. Efforts are required to be made in power quality enhancement of real-time systems. In this paper, a survey has been presented on power quality enhancement techniques in the present scenario. The article also suggests an investigation of the role of smart metering and Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) for power quality enhancement of real-time systems in intelligent grid architecture.

In recent years, the concept of "asset life extension" has become increasingly important to safety critical industries including nuclear power, offshore oil and gas, petrochemical, renewable energy, rail transport, aviation, shipping, electricity distribution and transmission, etc. Extending the service life of industrial assets can offer a broad range of economic, technical, social and environmental benefits as compared to other end-of-life management strategies such as decommissioning and replacement of equipment. The aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive literature review and classification framework for academic research and industrial practices related to life extension of safety critical systems and installations. To achieve this, a systematic review is performed on the current state-of-the-art and new developments in the field of asset life extension in various industries. Major sources from which the literature can be gathered are identified and some assessment criteria are defined to categorize the selected publications. A classification framework is then proposed to support life extension decision making process with respect to the type of asset and industry sectors where the concept of life extension has been of interest, condition assessment techniques used for qualification of assets for life extension, life prediction models, life extension strategies, etc. The current key issues in relation to the subject are outlined and the strengths and weaknesses of existing life extension decision-making tools are highlighted. This review contains an exhaustive list of scientific references on the topic, including articles published in journals, industry magazines, books and conference proceedings, university dissertations, technical reports and government documents. The proposed literature classification and analysis can help asset owners, asset managers, service providers, stakeholders, public policy-makers, environment protection authorities, and regulatory bodies gain valuable insights on asset life extension decision-making procedures and methodologies.
