1. Introduction

The primary objective of every power plant owner is to get constructed and to operate his

plant as cost-effectively as possible to maximize his profit. This means that he has to

minimize besides the investment costs for construction - the life cycle costs, which are

influenced by different factors. One of them is the operation and maintenance cost incurrent in

course of operation period of the power plant.

The power plant utilities are further driven to reduce their life cycle costs by the deregulation

of the different power markets.

Cost reduction by outsourcing of O&M activities is one opportunity to meet such

requirements.

This presentation shall give an overview of the O&M Services shown on the example of the

Arrbal project in Spain as well as the approach to customize services in compliance with

different clients and market requirements.

In general our service experiences are based on operation and maintenance of combined and

open cycle power plants being equipped with gas turbines and other OEM components. A

track record of the performances of the power plants under an O&M contract is shown

exemplary for the power plants Paka (800 MW) and Pasir Gudang (400 MW). Both plants are

located in Malaysia and are owned by the Malaysian construction company YTL Corporation.

The track record has been published by the operations company YTL Power Services, a joint

venture of Siemens AG (51%) and YTL Corporation (49%). After the know how transfer to

YTL Power Services was achieved the joint venture contract was terminated as planned in the

year December 2001. Since, that date YTL Power Services is a 100% subsidiary of YTL

Corporation.

3. Competence Network

It is of great importance to a power plant owner to be informed about the concept of how the

fleet experience of an OEM/O&M contractor is introduced and available to his power plant.

Since the experiences gathered by people is among others a significant source of know how,

thus we deem it as essential to use OEM managers as O&M managers at the power plants.

The use of OEM managers at the plants facilitates the exchange of information across the

plants as well as across

OEM works.

Manager Meeting

Due to the high availability demand and the life cycle cost reduction requirements of power

plants a permanent improvement of the O&M services is requested. To fulfill these

requirements a competence network has been established.

The Service Back Office located in Erlangen collects all O&M experience of the individual

Power Plants. Depending on the results of this ongoing evaluation, new improvements and

developments are being pursued.

The Service Back Offices evaluate and assess all the improvements and distribute this

information to the individual Power Plants. In addition to these procedures annual global

O&M manager meetings ensure direct exchange of experience.

3.1 Power DiagnosticsTM

An essential part of the competence network is Power DiagnosticsTM which enables operators

to minimize the life cycle costs of power plants and at the same time maximize the output of

electrical energy. The drive to reduce life cycle costs results among other things in the

reduction of staff and labor costs. Whereas the desire to maximize electrical output requires to

raise the availability, reliability and efficiency of the plant. A solution for high availability,

reliability and efficiency with minimum staff is Power DiagnosticsTM.

The Power Plants covered under a long term service contract can be connected via telephone

line to the Power Diagnostic Centers in Erlangen or in Orlando. The Power Diagnostic Center

has access to the data monitored continuously at the power plant for all important operation

values such as temperature distribution at gas turbine outlet, vibrations, operation hours, gas

turbine start-up curves, performance curves etc. Experienced plant managers monitor the data

in the Power Diagnostics Center and analyze these values with the objective to:

Determine the actual conditions of systems and installed components,

3.2 Reliability Centred Maintenance

A logic supplement to Power Diagnostics with its feature of predictive maintenance is the

introduction of a Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) method. The RCM Method allows

to reduce the number of maintenance tasks specified in the product manuals of the various

component suppliers. The component oriented maintenance schedule of the OEM suppliers

will be redefined by an expert team consisting of OEM experts, maintenance managers,

technicians and others. The expert team will define maintenance schedule with focus on the

functionality of systems in the context of the actual operating regime.

4. Quality

A certified quality system, ISO 9001 or equivalent, is a measure of growing importance of

protection of owners assets especially on deregulated markets where beside electrical power

also power plants are a merchandise. The perception of potential buyers is expected to be

influenced positively if all processes related to operation and maintenance are integrated in a

certified quality system, which is audited by an independent third party.

As integral scope of an O&M agreement it is possible to develop and implement a quality

system including a third party certification.

4.1 Computerized Plant Management System

The increasing competition in power markets is making cost-optimized power plant

management indispensable. A significant cost factor is labor cost for plant staff. It is

considered that 20% till 40% of the working hours are spent for finding, compiling and

archiving information, e.g.

Recording and maintenance of plant documentation,

Provision of information on present plants conditions,

Monitoring of defects, failures and their follow up,

Prepare, issue and expedite orders for spare parts, material and services,

Cost control for spare parts, material and services

Process Permit to Work system,

Control and follow up of deenergizing processes of related systems,

Scheduling and Follow Up of plant outages

Management of spare parts inventory.

The preferred solution is an intelligent, plant-wide IT support in the form of a plant

management system in particular for maintenance work, modifications, documentation and

spare parts management. The experiences of our O&M projects show that the workload for

information management can be limited to about 10% of the daily working hours, with the

help of our IT solution for computerized plant management, BFS++TM System.

operation, maintenance and administration processes from fault detection, through permit to

work establishment up to spares cost control and inventory management.

A parameter to measure the stability of processes at a power plant is the downtime for major

overhauls. The recorded downtime published by YTL Power Services for six consecutive hot

gas path inspections over a period of 18 month shows a steady trend of continuous outage

shortening.

7. Customer and Operator Synergies

The sum is more than just the addition ! The know how of the Customer together with the

O&M contractors experience ensure maximum long term asset protection.

An excellent example for synergies can be seen in the O&M procedures. What are the

synergy contributions in this specific case?

The contribution of the customer is the know how in regard to regional power production

requirements, and the long term experience in the local market as well as from the power

plant ownership.

On the other hand, worldwide long term O&M experience is brought in by us.

These synergy contributions from both parties allow fastest possible elaboration of the O&M

procedures and fastest possible installation of the ensuing engineering and administration

processes.

7.1 Arrbal Milestones of the Project

The Arrbal O&M project schedule starting from submission of the proposal up to signing the

contract was based on targeted negotiations in a very short time.

8. Benefits

Within the frame of O&M contracts, operator takes over significant share of customers risks.

For example one typical warranty in O&M contracts taken by operator is an availability

warranty.

An increased availability leads to increased revenues for the customer.

Siemens has a proven record of increased availability beyond the typical industrial averages

published in 2001 by EURELECTRIC, an independent non OEM organization. For

Combined Cycle or Cogen Plants the median of :

267 unit years resulted in a unit capability of 85.7% (unit capability is equivalent to

plant energy availability),

1966 unit years resulted in an accident rate per year and unit of 10.26 accidents.
