Utility power plant - after market service, an OEM perspective

摘要

Maintenance, overhaul practices and procedures adopted by a significant number of power plant utilities have changed markedly in the last years. The reasons for this are competition coupled with the increasing trend of corporatisation and/or privatisation of previously owned government power generation plant. Additional, factors for the change in maintenance and overhaul practices can be attributed to the ageing of plant and increasing pressure for profitability in an open, deregulated market economy environment.
