1INTRODUCTION
Inprinciple,improvingsystemreliabilityandreducingOperationsandMaintenancecostsaretopprioritiesofelectricutilities.Inanincreasinglycompetitivepowerdeliveryenvironment,electricutilitiesareforcedtoapplymoreproactivemethodsofutilityassetmanagement.OneofthemaincomponentsofelectricpowerdeliveryassetmanagementisthecapitalbudgetingandOperationsandMaintenanceofexistingfacilities.Sinceinmanycasesthecostofconstructionandequipmentpurchasesarefixed,OperationsandMaintenanceexpendituresistheprimarycandidateforcostcuttingandpotentialsavings.Assystemequipmentcontinuetoageandgraduallydeteriorate,theprobabilityofserviceinterruptionduetocomponentfailureincreases.
Electricutilitiesareconfrontedwithmanychallengesinthisneweraofcompetition:

Duringthelate1960’s,theaircraftindustrywasonthevergeofmanufacturingthefirst“jumbojets”.Thenew747’swerethreetimesthesizeofanyotherpassengerjetscurrentlyintheair.Therecognizedsizeofthe747,itsnewengines,anditsmanytechnologyadvancesinstructures,avionics,andthelike,allledtoFederalAviationAdministration(FAA)toinitiallytakethepositionthatpreventivemaintenanceonthe747wouldbeveryextensive–soextensive,infact,thattheairlinescouldnotlikelyoperatethisairplaneinaprofitablefashion.ThisproblemledtheaircraftindustrytocompletelyreevaluateitsPMprogram.Whatresultedfromthiseffortwasawholenewapproachthatemployedadecision-treeprocessforrankingPMtasksthatwerenecessarytopreservecriticalaircraftfunctionsduringflight[3].ThisnewtechniquewaseventuallyapprovedbytheFAAandsoonthereafterevolvedintowhatisknownasReliabilityCenteredMaintenance(RCM).RCMusedbytheairlineindustryledtomajorreductioninlabor,materialcostandinventorycost.Furtheritappliedtonuclearpowerindustryinthe1980’s.Today,RCMisthemaintenancetechniqueofchoiceformanyindustriesincludingpowerindustries.
UnliketheairlineindustrywhichhadtheadvantageofbeingabletoworkwithmanufacturerstocreateanRCMprogramforanewgenerationofequipment,theutilityindustry,especiallytheelectricpowergenerationindustry,hashadtoadoptRCMasamodificationoflong-establishedmaintenancepracticesatexistingplants[4].DespitethecostsassociatedwiththeimplementationoftheseRCMprogramsin“midstream”,theyhavebeenfoundtopayforthemselvesinveryshortorder.
RCM,ashasbeenmainlyappliedtonuclearpowerplants,oftenrequiresthelargestamountofmaintenancebecauseofsafetyandenvironmentalconsiderations.However,withthesesuccessfulprogramsnowoperating,fossilpowerplantsandpowertransmissionanddistributionsystemshaverecentlybeengettingintothemix.Becausethesefacilitiesfacealessrestrictiveregulatoryenvironment,theyshouldbeabletodirectlyapplythestreamlinesformsofRCMmuchmoreeasily,thusreducingtheimplementationcosts.
