Risk assessment processes
RWE Power International’s risk assessment and asset management process identifies and quantifies all the key risks in power plant operation, calculated in terms of safety, cost, availability, performance, and environmental compliance.
The results enable you to optimise the running of your plant – technically and commercially – in both the short and long term. It provides a balanced, independent view of your generation business, which includes:
- a commercially robust evaluation of your power generation assets
- an assessment of where to direct revenue and capital spend to areas that will provide the best returns
- a plant life health indicator to balance immediate revenues against premature destruction of plant value
- an assessment of plant engineering and maintenance costs
- a deeper understanding of the commercial availability of the plant in the market in which you compete
The total Risk and Asset Management package includes six assessment processes, which may also be conducted separately. All the processes involve the client at all stages, enabling a full transfer of operating and engineering knowledge from our engineers to client’s staff. The processes are:
- Engineering Risk Assessment (ERAP)
a comprehensive assessment of your engineering risks - Plant Life Usage System (PLUS)/ Optimum Maintenance Spend Programme (OMSP)
a unique understanding of plant life and usage - Environmental Risk Assessment (EnvRAP)
- Operational Risk Assessment (OpRAP)
optimising day-to-day operations - Lifetime Assessment Process (LTAP)
stretching maintenance to the limit - Warranty Risk Assessment Process (WRAP)
