Abstract
ABSTRACT To ensure a good return on investment, it is important for power plant operators to set up an asset management program that will ensure reliable operation over the commercial life of the plant. General Electric (GE) has been applying a variety of asset management technologies to improve power plant life and performance for our customers. These methods consider various inputs including equipment design knowledge; asset condition assessed from real-time monitoring and inspection data; and lessons learned from repairing, operating and maintaining thousands of assets globally. In this paper, a subset of that information is applied to develop a methodology to perform risk-based health and life assessments for steam turbines and generators. The method has been used on several steam power plants around the world, to help operators of ageing steam plants make the right decisions related to end-of-life management or life extension.
期刊介绍：
Materials at High Temperatures welcomes contributions relating to high temperature applications in the energy generation, aerospace, chemical and process industries. The effects of high temperatures and extreme environments on the corrosion and oxidation, fatigue, creep, strength and wear of metallic alloys, ceramics, intermetallics, and refractory and composite materials relative to these industries are covered.
Papers on the modelling of behaviour and life prediction are also welcome, provided these are validated by experimental data and explicitly linked to actual or potential applications. Contributions addressing the needs of designers and engineers (e.g. standards and codes of practice) relative to the areas of interest of this journal also fall within the scope. The term ''high temperatures'' refers to the subsequent temperatures of application and not, for example, to those of processing itself.
Materials at High Temperatures publishes regular thematic issues on topics of current interest. Proposals for issues are welcomed; please contact one of the Editors with details.
