The document outlines the long term planning and overhauling practices at NTPC. It discusses why overhauling is required to maintain performance, reliability, availability, safety, environmental standards and reduce costs. It then describes the long term planning process including life cycle plans, 8 year regional and station rolling plans, and annual location plans. The document also provides details on the typical scope of work for overhauling key equipment like pressure parts, rotating machines, ash handling systems, and turbines.

LONG TERM PLANNING AND OVERHAULING PRACTICES IN NTPC
PERFORMANCE Generation Heat Rate Parameters Specific oil consumption Auxiliary power consumption Motor current Capacity deterioration Utilising stand by eqpt.
RELIABILITY Routine and repetitive maint. Poor performance of eqpt. Unplanned Breakdowns High vibration of eqpt. Abnormal noise High Temperature Leakages
AVAILABILITY ABT Availability of stand by eqpt. Availability of complete stream
SAFETY Safety of the equipment Safety valves Poor condition of internals Safety of electrical eqpt. Condition of flow path
ENVIRONMENT Flue gas emissions Air control act
Noise Ash water Effluents
COST Cost of generation Coal input Water consumption Oil consumption Auxiliary power consumption
Statutory requirement Boiler certificate renewal
WHEN TO DO OVERHAULING ? Summary of
PRASECS
Grid condition Customer requirement CERC Clearance Condition of other units of the station MOU Target
LONG TERM PLANNING
Life cycle plan for 25 30 years Regional Eight years rolling plan Station Eight years rolling plan Engineering declaration Annual location plan Spares procurement plan
LIFE CYCLE PLAN
Likely trend of replacement of the equipment/parts which are likely to fail before the life expectancy Factors for replacement Coal quality Creep life of various components Equipment duty conditions Wear rate Behavioural trend of plant/ equipment & its past history RLA Reports
MAJOR EQUIPMENT TO BE COVERED IN LIFE CYCLE PLAN
