There are several approaches, including PMO (Preventive Maintenance Optimization) and RCM-based Maintenance Effectiveness Review (there are several non-military names for the same thing).
There are a number of guidance documents specific to power plants in both EPRI and IEEE, depending on the type of plants, and American Clean Power (ACP, formerly AWEA) guidance for wind/solar/storage. For clean energy plants, please reach out to me as I'm the standards chair. Most are USA based updates of IEEE and IEC standards although we have several specific best practices for PM/PdM sitewide.
From EPRI (these documents are available to non-members as well):
Effectiveness Audit Guideline (PMO): Effectiveness Audit Guideline (epri.com)
Guidelines for Developing a Preventive Maintenance (PM) Program: Identifying, Prioritizing, and Implementing PM Tasks: Summary of Lessons Learned for Maintenance Basis Optimization on Fossil, Combined-Cycle, Co Generation, and Renewable Assets (epri.com)
Cost Benefit Analysis for Maintenance Optimization (epri.com)
Reliability and Preventive Maintenance: Balancing Risk and Reliability (epri.com)
(there are several more - go to the search at the top of the page on the epri.com site and put in the topic).
As I'm sure you are aware, the IEEE documents are rather specific in relation to power plants and distribution systems. https://standards.ieee.org and look for your topics under Power Engineering Society and Reliability Society (RS has a number of documents for evaluating reliability in relation to PM/PdM such as IEEE SA - IEEE 3006.3-2017).
Sincerely,
Howard
