0355: Best Practice Guide for Planning and Executing Hydro Overhaul and Retrofit Projects/Optimization of Rehabilitation

Building new hydro plants has become increasingly difficult in many jurisdictions due to financial,social and environmental considerations. Existing hydropower, however, has gained a significantadvantage in new electrical markets as a flexible, low-cost and environmentally sustainable resource.Overhauling and retrofitting existing plants to extend life and increase output, where economicallyand technically feasible, often makes excellent business sense.Technical knowledge on overhauls and retrof

0131: Boiler Tube Failure Prevention and Management

Historically, boiler tube failures (BTF) have been the primary cause of loss of availability of fossil-fuel and combined cycle power plants and it remains a significant problem for the industry today. Implementation of a BTF prevention program has been proven to save the plant operators millions of dollars by just maintaining the availability of the plant. This 6-month-long project was conducted to identify guidelines for the best practice of BTF prevention. The study also addresses the factors

3088: Use of Microprocessor-Based Relays in Stations

Microprocessor-based protective relays are able to provide additional functionality beyond their primary purpose of power system protection. They measure and record power system parameters that may contain information about the condition of the assets that make up the power system, and this information may be helpful in managing these assets. This report identifies the ways in which modern protective relays can help manage assets effectively, and assists asset managers in deciding how to maximiz

0133: Assessment of Potential for Increasing Thermal Efficiency of Existing Generating Units

There are many opportunities to improve existing plant heat rate (efficiency) by means of thermalcycle and balance of plant system improvements. This study identifies and ranks these potentialefficiency improvement options.There are a number of drivers for considering improvements to an existing plant’s efficiency.Performance of major components, such as steam turbines or steam generators may have degradedover time, or the existing component performance may have been surpassed by recent te

03109: Hydraulic Generating Station Balance of Plant Maintenance Catalogue

CEATI participants operate and maintain over 1,000 generating stations located throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The maintenance work conducted at these stations is widely recognized as an essential business process required for achieving strategic goals of safety, reliability, and production in a cost-effective manner. However, too often, assets that are not directly related to power generation are overlooked from the perspective of applying a sufficient amount of ma

50114: Distribution Transformer Secondary Overvoltage Protection

Distribution utilities would benefit from further information and clarification of the overvoltage environment at distribution transformers and related failures of transformers due to primary and secondary overvoltages. Despite available information about transformer overvoltages and current protection strategies, utilities repeatedly experience a large number of storm-related failures of distribution transformers.The objective of this work is to provide guidance for utilities on the most effect

7012: An Overview of Load Management

Load management is frequently defined as the management of the load of electric and gas utilities in order to better utilize the generation, transmission and delivery system. Generally, it attempts to shift load from peak use periods to other periods of the day, month or year. The name is an umbrella for a host of activities that include load shedding, load shifting and load control. Load management has traditionally been used as a tool of the energy industry to ensure system stability. Howeve

3148: IEEE 2800-2022 Standard: Adoption Strategies and Implementation Considerations

The North American bulk power system (BPS) is undergoing a significant transformation with the rapid integration of inverter-based resources (IBRs), such as wind, solar photovoltaic (PV), and battery energy storage systems (BESS). These resources, interfacing with the grid through power electronics, are changing the way the grid is planned and operated. However, the high penetration of IBRs has revealed system reliability risks, as evidenced by large-scale disturbances. This report examines the
