Survey of Performance Assurance Concepts Applicable to Baseload Electric Power Plants,

Abstract

This report provides an overview of performance assurance practices developed and applied since World War II to improve the cost-effectiveness of selected, large-scale technological systems. The purpose is to present concepts which might be applicable in reducing the frequency and duration of electric powerplant outages. A comprehensive performance assurance program is recommended. The elements of the suggested program were derived by considering elements of precedent programs which are believed to be most effective in other applications.
