In today’s changing environment, fossil-fuel plant owners face significant lifecycle management
challenges
Along with existing issues like price pressures due to market liberalisation, new concerns of
climate change and other environmental issues have further impacted the industry
Operation and maintenance cost reductions are needed along with performance improvements
along the entire lifecycle
As a result, fossil fuel power plants need to be more flexible, reliable and efficient, while cutting
emissions. In some countries, government has initiated fuel-saving or energy efficiency
program, which constitutes further Market Based Instruments(MBI) for plant operators to
improve efficiency and reduce their fuel consumption
In India, Govt. has already approved MBIs like PAT ( Performance, Achieve & Trade Scheme)

Condition Assessment
These evaluations focus on establishing the current
condition of assets for more precise planning of
refurbishment or optimisation.
Condition assessments provide a
comprehensive review of the status of all plant
equipment
Risk assessments review factors influencing the
operational reliability of plant components and
assist in planning of refurbishment activities
Damage assessments are used after an incident
to identify affected equipment and guide repair
efforts
Component assessments provide an up-to-date
condition status of all components and systems
Modern maintenance

and retrofit techniques
Our TÜV-RoiM strategy combines reliability We base our qualitative and quantitative techniques
and risk assessments with information extracted on internationally accepted standards and
from expert judgment, physical models, and guidelines, and tailor the solutions to your specific
plant-specific and generic data concerns

Integrated retrofitting
Optimise availability and reliability over the long term.
Component/part retrofitting is not sufficient specially when ultimate goal is total asset optimisation and highest
possible generation
By organising, an integrated program that incorporates various upgrades across the plant, matching the
capabilities of any combination of main components and associate parts it delivers maximum efficiency in most
