The world's largest diesel power plant listed in the Guinness Book of World Records is Jordan's Amman Asian power plant, which produces a total of 573 MW of electric power. It consists of 38 units of 15MW capacity, and KEPCO achieved high profitability through the power plant. If a large capacity of 50MW clsss is applied, it will be newly listed in the Guinness Book of World Records even if only 12 units are constructed. Therefore, large-scale overseas orders for diesel power plants that require large capacity are expected in the future. The purpose of this study is to derive a installation offset by performing the shaft alignment analysis for large capacity 50MW shaft system. As a result, the offset of shaft system for the 50MW diesel power generation equipment was successfully derived through the bearing influence assessment and introduction of arrangement slope for main engine bearings.

An Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) installed in a nuclear power plant is the primary power source, supplying AC power to Class 1E power systems when the main turbine generator and offsite power source are not available. Thus, reliability of the EGD is essential for plant safety and availability. In this paper, the EDG is selected for a Long Term Asset Management (LTAM) strategy and the results are summarized briefly. The LTAM strategy is intended to provide an effective long-term planning tool for minimizing unplanned capability loss and then optimizing maintenance programs and capital investments consistent with plant safety and an identified plant operating strategy. Such an operating strategy might include license renewal or retaining the option for license renewal.

An emergency diesel generator(EDG) manufactured by a French company Wartsila SACM is a tandem type engine and consisted of two 10 cylindered diesel engines on each side. The maintenance manual provided by the manufacturer recommends that engine bearing be inspected every 15 years. However, it is difficult to inspect them because the manhole located in the lower compartment of the engine is too small for maintenance worker to access engine internals. Furthermore, the EDG should be disassembled and then overturned to inspect bearings unlike other EDG type. Such process will take longer period time than ordinary maintenance period. So it is not possible to inspect the main engine bearing and crank shaft during a routine or scheduled maintenance. In this paper, five methods are proposed and estimated to resolve the problem and the optimal maintenance method is chosen among them. The proposed optimal maintenance plan makes it possible to perform proper maintenance during regular maintenance period and to lower maintenance cost considerably.
