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

Asset management including stepwisemodernization and evolution of

instrumentation, control and electrical systemsis the answer to the various changing requirements

during the life time of any power plant.

Well planned evolution programswill keep the plant on high performance levels

throughout the total plant lifetime.
