Abstract
Utilities are striving to upgrade the already impressive performance of hydroelectric plants at a reasonable cost. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) solicited utility industry feedback on what kinds of improvements to pursue, with forced outages, scheduled outages, plant efficiency, and new equipment reliability ranking as top candidates. Innovative approaches to operation and maintenance are springing up, but more effective channels for sharing technical information are neeeded. 7 references, 2 figures, 1 table.
