Current conditions suggest that extending the life of aging fossil-fired power plant units may be economically justified. To explore this thesis, the Fossil Plant Life Extension Workshop, sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute and Edison Electric Institute, was held in Washington, DC, on June 12 through 15, 1984. During the workshop, presentations were made about the experiences of utilities that have embarked on this path, factors that require consideration, technical approaches to evaluating remaining life, and methods of extending the useful life of components. Of the more than 200 people attending the workshop, over half represented utilities in the United States and abroad, almost 40 percent represented architect-engineers and suppliers to the utility industry, and the remainder represented government agencies and research organizations involved with the industry. During the workshop, presentations were given about utility life extension programs, generation planning and the regulatory environment, boiler life extension projects, turbine-generator life extension projects, balance of plant life extension, and remaining life estimation. A seventh session was held so utility representatives could meet to discuss air quality regulatory issues, techniques for estimating remaining life, setting up a life extension program, and techniques for balance of plant evaluation. The 27 individual papers have been entered into EDB and ERA. (LTN)
