Metodología de mejora de la gestión de mantenimientos para elevar la disponibilidad de los grupos electrógenos Wärtsilä LNGD16V32 ubicados en la Central de generación Secoya.

Abstract

This research work aims to propose a methodology for increasing the availability of the Wärtsilä 16V32LNGD generation groups. They are located in Secoya generation plant of the company Wärtsilä Ecuador. For which a general theory of the system was used around which other theoretical and methodological corps on maintenance are integrated as well as the specific methodologies among which are the TPM, RCM GEMO, taking it as a fundamental base in the elaboration of the proposed methodology. A methodology was developed that based on the result of the theoretical study integrates the key components in its process as well as the essential processes organized in three stages: planning, control processes and support and evaluation. In each stage, several steps or activities were carried out that guarantee the management of the maintenance system in the studied system. This research allowed obtaining the answers to the skills that were found in the current system. It enhances the unique maintenance components, the maintenance plans and the maintenance software that allows the improvement of the system and with low costs in its implementation. The results obtained are reflected in an increase of the availability of Wärtsilä 16V32LNGD generators. Subsequently, they were later verified by a statistical processing, evidencing the increase in availability, evidencing the increase in availability, which give us as end result to compliance with the contract requirements of the company with its customers and reduce operation and maintenance costs.
