The electric power sector restructuring associated with the technological developments in the scope of automation, information and data analysis has led the agents involved to search solutions that contribute to the asset operation, maintenance and planning. In this sense, the present work, resulting of ANEEL R&D project PD-07469-0002 / 2018, proposed the development of an Expert System (ES) for the maintenance management of a hydraulic power plant, considering reliability analysis and financial impact models. In this way, the ES was based on the concept of Markovian networks for the calculation of equipment operating probabilities, on the series-parallel method for modeling the equipment and on obtaining reliability curves with Weibull distribution for modeling the risks of each equipment.
