- Electricite de France (EDF)

Maintenance is one of the key elements in a reliable, economic and flexible electricity generation program. Electricite de France, operating more than 100 units (fossil and nuclear), defined several years ago and applies a policy for its maintenance activities. The development of new maintenance concepts such as preventive,condition-directed or predictive maintenance has led EDF to undertake a research program in these areas. This paper presents the current status of the maintenance policy, the research and development program for valves, rotating machines, instrumentation and control systems. In conclusion, comments are made on the trends and the future organization of the maintenance activities taking into account the integrated diagnostic and on-line monitoring center.
