Abstract
Risk and reliability management of rotating plant in power stations under life extension have become a major challenge for industry. The increasing numbers of catastrophic failures are calling for a more rigorous regime to address integrity through qualitative as well as quantitative methods. Current condition based assessments as well as condition monitoring techniques need further development into the future to assist power generators manage into unknown territory during life extension.
