Strategies planning for power systems maintenance and troubleshooting

The competition in energy market involves development of environment friendly and high scale power output plants. The major types of reliable power generation plants are found to be nuclear and hydropower plants which are manifested a promising source of energy that produce power in large scale. Human errors are mainly occurring during the maintenance, design (planning) and operation phases. Such error are the main causes of performance degradation by imposing economical and technical losses. This paper keen on investigating the human error causes that leads to performance degradation in power plants. It was realized that human errors are mainly caused by bad human resources strategies and faulty materials (monitoring tools) while studying the same over two nuclear and one coal-fired power plants.
