Optimizing Maintenance Strategies in Power Generation: Embracing Predictive and Preventive Approaches
In the high-stakes world of power generation, ensuring continuous operation and reducing downtime are central priorities. With the increasing complexity of power generation systems, maintenance practices are evolving to meet these demands more efficiently. Understanding the roles of Predictive Maintenance (PdM), Preventive Maintenance (PM), and Reactive Maintenance (Run-to-Failure) is crucial for maintenance professionals in the energy sector to make informed decisions about equipment management and long-term operational strategy.

All cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, and double differential cross sections are consistently calculated and analyzed for n+93Nb reaction at incident neutron energy up to 200 MeV based on the nuclear theoretical models. The theoretical calculated results are compared with the existing experimental data and the evaluated data in ENDF/B-VII, JENDL-4, and TENDL-2015. The calculated results agree with the experiential data.
