Optimum Maintenance Policy Based on Quantitative Reliability Analysis

A pulverizer deployed in a coal-fired thermal power plant has a dominant failure mode that is due to degradation of the pulverizer’s table. The condition of the table is monitored during shutdown-and-turn-around of the power plant.

This presentation demonstrates how the recorded information is used to derive an optimum maintenance policy, as well as the risk associated with this policy.

Key Words: System Analysis, Optimum Maintenance
