The main aim of this event, which takes place every two years, is to reflect the ongoing technological development in maintenance, to bring up the topical issues for discussion and to cultivate intensive exchange of experience between power plant maintenance personal..

The theme of the plenary lecture is once again not related to power plants. This year, an experienced memory trainer will suggest simple methods to help us to improve our memory.

Four key subject areas will be presented.

The first key area deals with quality assurance and material. Without a doubt, quality is not being controlled satisfactorily.

The second key area is entitled „Retrofitting and increasing efficiency“. Here, possibilities will be demonstrated for increasing the efficiency of existing plants.

In the third key area, the current conditions for maintenance will be dealt with. Insurance and tender aspects will be highlighted here.

The fourth key area is dedicated to the sector of technology, experience and damages. Reports will be made regarding the lifetime extension of components, also against the background of a changing political scenario, about new materials and first operation and inspection experiences. New maintenance techniques will be introduced.

Finally, lectures will be held regarding the influence of the volatile input on the grid stability, as well as the events in Fukushima.

Our partners will present themselves in the accompanying trade exhibition. Here, participants will have the opportunity of taking part in discussions to establish or strengthen their business contacts and to discuss different aspects and current questions regarding maintenance.

See you in Ulm.
