Large fossil fueled power plants and gas turbine based combined cycle plants will be the mainstay of power generation for the next several decades. These plants are characterized by large capital investments and high fuel costs creating a critical need for detecting , identifying and diagnosing machinery problems. The cost for plant outages are exceedingly high and the Electric Power Research Institute estimates are that for a 800 MW thermal power plant, 1% availability is worth about $1,000,000 per year.Further,20-25% of the plant’s total production cost are maintenance related.
The incentive for establishing a Reliability program through technology is based on the need to assess and impact of an unexpected shutdown or failure. Reliability Technology has repeatedly proven its value when used on critical no backup spare equipment where downtime halts power generation.
