Abstract

A method of managing information used for maintenance and inspection of an apparatus includes collecting an apparatus operation history information with respect to an operation condition of the apparatus; updating the apparatus operation history information each time a maintenance and inspection service is implemented, and storing the updated information as a maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information until a next maintenance and inspection service; and analyzing the maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information by comparing the maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information before the maintenance and inspection service and the maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information after the maintenance and inspection service.

Claims

1. A method of managing information used for maintenance and inspection of an apparatus, comprising:

collecting an apparatus operation history information with respect to an operation condition of the apparatus;

updating the apparatus operation history information each time a maintenance and inspection service is implemented, and storing the updated information as a maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information until a next maintenance and inspection service; and

analyzing the maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information by comparing the maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information before the maintenance and inspection service and the maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information after the maintenance and inspection service.

2. The method of managing the maintenance and inspection information as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

allocating an identification information to a component forming a part of the apparatus, which is subject to the maintenance and inspection service, the identification information being used to identify the component according to a component type and a site of installation;

collecting component history information for each component identified, the component history information including a plurality of items with respect to usage conditions after startup of the apparatus;

updating the component history information each time the maintenance and inspection service is implemented, and storing the updated component history information as a maintenance and inspection unitary component history cumulative information until the next maintenance and inspection service; and

analyzing the maintenance and inspection unitary component history cumulative information by comparing the maintenance and inspection unitary component history cumulative information before the maintenance and inspection service and the maintenance and inspection unitary component history cumulative information after the maintenance and inspection service.

3. The method of managing the maintenance and inspection information as claimed in claim 2, wherein the apparatus is a gas turbine power generator, the maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information includes at least one of days elapsed subsequent to the maintenance and inspection service, number of apparatus startups and apparatus operation hours, and the maintenance and inspection unitary component history cumulative information includes at least one of days elapsed subsequent to the maintenance and inspection service of the component, number of apparatus startups and apparatus operation hours.

4. A system for managing information used for maintenance and inspection service of an apparatus, comprising:

a unit to collect an apparatus operation history information with respect to an operation condition of the apparatus;

a unit to update the apparatus operation history information each time a maintenance and inspection service is implemented, and to store the updated information as a maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information until a next maintenance and inspection service; and

a unit to analyze the maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information by comparing the maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information before the maintenance and inspection service and the maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information after the maintenance and inspection service.

5. The system for managing the maintenance and inspection information as claimed in claim 4, further comprising:

a unit to allocate an identification information to a component forming a part of the apparatus, which is subject to the maintenance and inspection service, the identification information being used to identify the component according to a component type and a site of installation;

a unit to collect component history information for each component identified, the component history information including a plurality of items with respect to usage conditions after startup of the apparatus;

a unit to update the component history information each time the maintenance and inspection service is implemented, and to store the updated component history information as a maintenance and inspection unitary component history cumulative information until the next maintenance and inspection service; and

a unit to analyze the maintenance and inspection unitary component history cumulative information by comparing the maintenance and inspection unitary component history cumulative information before the maintenance and inspection service and the maintenance and inspection unitary component history cumulative information after the maintenance and inspection service.

6. The system for managing the maintenance and inspection information as claimed in claim 5, wherein the apparatus is a gas turbine power generator, the maintenance and inspection unitary cumulative history information includes at least one of days elapsed subsequent to the maintenance and inspection service, number of apparatus startups and apparatus operation hours, and the maintenance and inspection unitary component history cumulative information includes at least one of days elapsed subsequent to the maintenance and inspection service of the component, number of apparatus startups and apparatus operation hours.
