Abstract :
This paper presents the culmination of a 24000 man-hour effort to collect operational and maintenance data on 204 power generation, power distribution, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning items, including gas turbine generators, diesel engine generators, electrical switchgear, cables, circuit breakers, boilers, piping, valves, pumps, motors, and chillers. The data collection process and the resultant data are the subject of this paper
