This document discusses maintenance and performance analysis of a combined cycle power plant. It begins with background on the Italian electricity market and trends in natural gas and electricity prices and demand. It then provides an overview of combined cycle power plants, describing the Rankine and Brayton cycles, gas turbines, steam turbines, heat recovery steam generators, and generators. It introduces the specific power plant studied, detailing its gas turbine, compressor, combustion chamber, turbine, steam turbine, HRSG, and air condenser components. Finally, it covers maintenance theory, economics of reliability, gas turbine maintenance including hot gas path inspections and overhauls, and nondestructive testing methods. The goal is to analyze the economic effects of maintenance, particularly
