Course Description

Assets operations and maintenance are paramount to overall effectiveness of business objectives ensuring minimum downtimes and maintenance cost optimization. The variety of Power Generation Equipment such as Gas Turbines, HRSGs, Boilers, Steam Turbines, Generators, Boilers, Control System and Distribution Grids bring certain complexities when identifying problems and conducting the specific maintenance requirements.

This 3-day program is designed to assist the maintenance management, engineers and technicians in identifying the various Operating Performance and Functional parameters, Generation Reliability considerations as part of RCM-III Program development and implementation, Criticalities and Failure modes, consequences and mitigation characteristics.

The program is specifically designed for discussion on New, Medium Aged and Aged Power Generation Assets and will help participants in developing a Proactive Maintenance and Reliability program with embedded RCM-III methodology & implementation for the whole Assets with emphasis on Specific Equipment plans. Participants will also be provided understanding of Preventive and Predictive Maintenance programs with analysis of Condition Monitoring data and further corrections in Maintenance Program, introduction of RRM – Risk and Reliability Management for optimization of the Generation Assets Maintenance schedule.

Generation Assets Bad actors management programs with emphasis on Trips, Performance variations, Load Cycling its effects, Forced Outages, Turn Around Work-Scopes Optimization techniques will supplement the course with practical exercises.

A thorough insight into the Reliability Framework Current Practices GAPS and resolution, Maintenance cost and life cycle analysis will supplement the course. Remaining Life Assessment, Evaluations and Recommendations and Equipment Repair and Replacement decisions as part of Generation and Distribution process will be discussed in depth.

The Asset management model as applied to Power Generation Assets equipment as part of RCM-III strategies will be discussed in detail with reference to PAS-55 / ISO 55000 recommendations.
