Abstract
The basis for proactive maintenance in thermal power plants, is the analysis of the root cause of the failure, i.e. the determination of mechanism and cause of failure occurrence from the thermal power plant system. The root causes of system failures can be eliminated in this way, and the causes of failures can gradually be eliminated using an engineering approach from any assembly of device or machine. Successful proactive maintenance programs would gradually, over time, eliminate problems of the device by project-engineering solutions, which, as a consequence, would have a significantly longer device life cycle, reduced downtime and increase production capacity.
