Power Plant Standards. The Electric Generation Safety and Reliability Section (EGSRS) help maintain reliable electric generation for the public by ensuring power plants comply with General Order (GO) 167 Maintenance, Operation, and Logbook Standards. GO 167 specifies who must file compliance documents according to plant type and capacity.
Determine the mission of each plant, based on future operating expectations, and add or remove plants from the portfolio. A fact-based assessment may highlight the need for some plants to be shuttered. Set cost expectations at plants and change work for the plants that remain. Cost objectives and targets will vary depending on the mission.
Maintenance has during a long period of time mostly been associated with costs and stoppages and has, of this reason, acquired a connotation of being something necessary evil. Nowadays, availability, reliability and safety in the production plants are more emphasized. An increasingly
The Plant Load Factor (PLF) of state-sector thermal power plants in India in 2006-07 was on an average 70.84 percent compared with 89.4 percent for central-sector NTPC power plants and 86.35 percent for private-sector power plants. Among the state-sector power plants also, there is a wide performance range with more than 90 percent PLF for some
