Abstracts: The heavy rotating machineries in Thermal Power Plant are critically affected by the Vibration problems. The vibrations create serious impact on life of machines, condition and even untimely failure. Failures in rotating machinery can be a prime contributor to forced outage of a power plant or reduction in power generation. The cost of plant outage, together with stringent safety considerations, makes it essential that the condition all machinery vital to plant operation is maintained and that unexpected breakdowns are eliminated. Hence there has been a trend for plant operators to rely on condition-based maintenance philosophies, and vibration analysis is the most widely used technique of condition-based maintenance.
