Implementation of an Asset Management Plan According to ISO 55001 at the Colmito Power Generation Plant—Chile
摘要
The proposed article describes the key factors of a Maintenance Management Model (MMM) aligned with an Asset Management implementation plan following the NCh-ISO 55001 standard for the Colmito Power Generation Plant in Chile. The aim is to improve service quality by reducing downtime caused by faults, optimizing operations, and extending asset lifespan. This implementation aligns with current legislation and fulfills the objectives and goals defined in asset management, in compliance with Supreme Decree 109 of 2017 from the Ministry of Energy. This decree regulates the safety of electrical installations involved in production, transportation, provision of complementary services, energy storage systems, and the distribution of electrical energy. It specifically refers to Normative Technical Specification RPTD No. 17, which establishes the requirements for the SGIIE (Integrity Management System for Electrical Installations) in Chile. The first part describes the most important aspects of the MMM: Maintenance Management Model developed by INGEMAN. It discusses the eight phases of the MMM and explains the key fundamentals that organizations must implement to apply the MMM and optimize the technical and economic performance of assets throughout their life cycle. Additionally, it analyzes the relationship between the MMM and the requirements of the Asset Management Standard ISO 55001. The second part provides details on the AMS-ISO 55001 diagnostic tool (Asset Management Survey—ISO 55001), used to assess the requirements stipulated by the Asset Management standard NCh-ISO 55001 at the Colmito Power Generation Plant, referencing a tool developed by the IAM (Institute of Asset Management). The article also includes the results of the maturity level assessment of the Colmito Power Generation Plant in relation to the requirements of the NCh-ISO 55001 standard. Additionally, the operational context of the Colmito Power Generation Plant and the regulatory framework of the electrical market are presented to provide an understanding of the organization and its interactions with various market entities. Finally, the article describes the guidelines for the development and implementation of the Asset Management System for the Colmito Power Generation Plant. It outlines the planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, and improvement processes proposed to consolidate the Asset Management Strategic Plan (PGEA). The goal is to comply with items 4 to 10 of the NCh-ISO 55001 standard in order to minimize operational risks and maximize the profitability of the assets of the Colmito Power Generation Plant throughout their entire lifecycle.
