| Major Component Reliability |
|
| Safety and availability loss due to failures are two key issues driving R&D on major fossil power plant components, especially in older plants. EPRI’s Major Component Reliability programs provide data on critical equipment/material degradation mechanisms, conduct materials-related R&D for advanced generation technologies, quantify chemistry management issues and the benefits of chemistry improvements, and develop information for life-management strategies for boilers and steam turbines/generators. The programs help utilities balance the risks and costs of the largest, most costly equipment and focus on using proven technologies to create solutions. |
