Maintenance in Power Plants 2018

Since our last meeting, the conventional generation fleet had to overcome two economically difficult years. During that period, some of the locations could neither keep up economically, nor technically and therefore were closed down.

Detailed reports about strategies and practical examples on how to achieve good maintenance with few resources will guide you through the conference.
