Condition-based Dynamic Supportability Mechanism for the Performance Quality of Large-scale Electromechanical Systems

Scientific and effective supportability mechanisms have a profound impact on large-scale electromechanical systems and improve their performance quality, while decreasing costs. However, the contradiction between the static supportability strategy and time-varying performance quality conditions remains not sufficiently resolved. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a performance quality condition-based dynamic supportability mechanism. First, model-driven risk identification and control chart-based pattern recognition were used to trigger the dynamic allocation of the limit supportability resource. Second, the performance quality mode and effect analysis and the multiagent collaborative chain were defined to identify the resource lists of maintenance activities. Third, a general control framework was constructed to evaluate the compliance and applicability of maintenance activities. This study formulated a dynamic supportability mechanism for performance quality with a closed loop of activity triggering, resource guarantee, and maintenance effectiveness evaluation. As an expansion and improvement of condition-based maintenance, the dynamic supportability mechanism overcomes the several drawbacks of the existing supportability mechanisms of large-scale electromechanical systems. The proposed mechanism also advances the integration of management and technology in comprehensive supportability. Therefore, the proposed mechanism and methods can be flexibly and efficiently used for the dynamic supportability of electromechanical systems. Moreover, this study provides insights into risk identification, macro pattern recognition and process control and can be used for other engineering applications.
