Summary

Asset-intensive transmission utilities are increasingly challenged to maintain high reliability while optimizing lifecycle costs across geographically dispersed and heterogeneous asset portfolios. Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID), one of the world’s largest transmission utilities, has initiated a unified Asset Performance Management (APM) framework to enable risk-informed, data-driven asset management at national grid scale. This paper presents the conceptualization and development of a unified APM framework integrating heterogeneous Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) data sources, such as SCADA, IoT-based condition monitoring systems, protection systems, Data historian,

Geographical Information System (GIS) and inspection platforms through a Common Data

Platform (CDP). Further, it details about development of structured APM models and templates, covering inspections, failure taxonomy, probability & consequence of failure. An example of transformer asset class illustrates how component-level condition assessment and analytics translate operational data into optimized maintenance actions and decisions. The unified APM framework aligns with global best practices and ISO 55000 principles.
