POWER PLANT MAINTENANCE

SPP power plant maintenance philosophy consists of:

a) Daily Maintenance, which covers routine testing to be performed according to instruction manuals on component/equipment;

b) Emergency maintenance, which is a corrective maintenance to be performed when failure occurs;

c) Scheduled maintenance, which is a preventive maintenance to be performed with component/equipment in shut-down condition.

In order to minimize forced outages duration, emergency maintenance requires a proper available stock of spare parts.

Scheduled maintenance is performed on the basis of a maintenance plan which covers, in principle, the plant life.

Such maintenance plan is designed to keep planned unavailability within prescribed values.
