CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES
The aim of this international conference is to provide an international platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience related to various power generation plant issues including their decarburisation, materials, inspection/ monitoring, safe operation and condition/life assessment. The main theme is how to make power generation more sustainable and reliable.
Topics which have currently gained much significance such as fossil power plant flexible operation in view of the increasing intervention of the renewables, use of low or zero carbon clean fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia or a mix of such fuels with the existing fuels, digitalisation of the power industry, the challenge of the fabrication and inspection of newly developed materials for the new generation of fission and fusion nuclear power plants and for wind turbines will be discussed in this three day event.
CONFERENCE FORMAT/ ORGANISATION / PRESENTATION TIMES
The Conference will principally consist of presentations of 25 mins. each, including about 3 mins. for questions/answers. Keynote presentation will be of 35 mins. duration including about 3 mins. of questions/answers.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND ?
Plant operators, owners, designers, fabricators, inspection companies and service providers will be the prime audience in this conference. It is also envisaged that other organisations such as research institutes and universities will equally benefit from this experience and the information exchange.

The Organiser
European Technology Development (ETD)
ETD is an independent UK based engineering, consulting and R&D company specialising in high temperature plant inspection and life assessment /extension, maintenance, materials and engineering issues in power generating and petrochemical/process plant. ETD has, in the past, organised various international workshops/ courses/ conferences in the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, South Africa, Japan, Korea and other countries of Asia, mainly on the issues dealing with power and process plant life assessment/ extension, high temperature plant materials, plant component safety and durability, performance of in-service welds, power plant cycling, risk-based maintenance (RBM), Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM), probabilistic life and crack assessment, weld repairs etc.
The company has been leading and co-ordinating a number of large cutting edge international industry projects (supported by the industry from North America, Japan, Europe and elsewhere or by the UK government and European Commission) on issues related to the assessment and improvement of high temperature plant performance, materials and design, maintenance and inspection strategies, and the development of innovative inspection techniques. The company has carried out/ participated in leading edge projects on P91 and P92 weld repairs, long term creep rupture data generation, crack assessment, integrity issues and has carried out studies of P/T91 performance in plant worldwide.
The company has developed its own unique equipment (in collaboration with other industry) such as a portable spark erosion machine for ‘boat sampling’, a portable AFM for early-stage creep cavitation damage detection in P91/ P92 components, a precision portable hardness tester called ‘Smart Sleeve’.
