Abstract Thischapterpresentsthemotivationforthedevelopmentofthepresent
book. Because the need for electricity is pervasive in our society, there is a
continuinginterestinthetechnologyofelectricpowerproductionanddistribution.
Thechapterpresentssomeforecastsofelectricpowerproductionthatindicatethe
massive use of thermal power plants, fired with coal or natural gas. In order to
improve the efficiency of those power plants, the use of Overall Equipment
Effectiveness (OEE) as a key performance indicator is discussed. Finally the link
between reliability and maintainability concepts and the OEE index is presented.
1 Introduction
AccordingtothereportInternationalEnergyOutlook(IEO)2010[2]theworldnet
electricity generation projection increases by 87%, from 18.8 trillion kilowatt
hours in 2007 to 25.0 trillion kilowatt hours in 2020 and 35.2 trillion kilowatt
hours in 2035. Although the recession slowed the rate of growth in electricity
demand in 2008 and 2009, growth returns to pre-recession rates by 2015. In
general, in OECD countries, where electricity markets are well established and
consumption patterns are mature, the growth of electricity demand is slower than
innon-OECDcountries,wherealargeamountofpotentialdemandremainsunmet.
Accordingtothatreport,thetotalnetgenerationinnon-OECDcountriesincreases
by 3.3% per year on average, as compared with 1.1% per year in OECD nations.
