Optimization of maintenance strategy for marine generators

The maintenance strategy for marine generators is a key factor that affects ship safety and economic benefits. In this paper, on the basis of marine maintenance system theories, by analyzing maintenance after a failure event, preventive maintenance, and condition based maintenance, and so on, a ship maintenance strategy and the corresponding processes are constructed. A risk assessment is made using calculated degree of reliability. According to a marine economic mathematical model, the risk to reliability and economics, a maintenance period can be determined effectively.
