8.2-run-until-2025-7-2faad66b32b626e5.pdf
This report provides a detailed technical condition assessment of the Hendrina Power Station, focusing on the life extension (Life-ex) of its generators, auxiliary systems, and common plant infrastructure. It identifies significant degradation in stator winding insulation, the presence of hot spots in stator cores, and severe corrosion and structural spalling across various civil works, including cooling towers and smoke stacks. The document evaluates the feasibility of extending plant operations to 2025, noting that while some areas are in good condition, others pose high risks to safety and operational reliability.
