Power Routing: A New Paradigm for Maintenance Scheduling

IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine, vol. 14, pp. 33–45

Abstract

Currently, the necessity of efficient and reliable power systems is also increasing because of the strict requirements that standards and regulations impose, but still costs have to remain low. The monitoring and control of the components' lifetime can lead to reduce maintenance costs.However, overcoming the related challenges is not a straightforward task, as it involves knowledge of power device physics, smart management of electrical quantities, and optimal maintenance planning and scheduling. It represents a multidisciplinary issue being faced in the last decade.
