Abstract

A workshop addressing reliability, availability, and maintainability, in electric utility gas turbine procurement, was held in East Windsor, Connecticut, on October 12--13, 1988. A total of 49 utility personnel representing 25 electric utilities attended. Additional participants were representatives from the Electric Power Research Institute (sponsors of the workshop), invited speakers, and Energy Systems Associates (ESA), the organization that conducted the workshop. Seven presentations were given, highlighting actual utility experiences in gas turbine procurement. The presentations addressed reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM), bid evaluations, and repowering options and considerations. New to the workshops in 1988 was one half-day devoted entirely to warranties, presented by an EPRI contractor. Individual projects are processed separately for the data bases.
