Investment protection by step-wise evolving and upgrading
of instrumentation, control and electrical systems
Conclusion

Asset management including stepwise

modernization and evolution of
instrumentation, control and electrical systems
is the answer to the various changing requirements
during the life time of any power plant.

Well planned evolution programs

will keep the plant on high performance levels
throughout the total plant lifetime.
