The design life of thermal power plants is usually 40 years. As the design life approaches, the reliability and efficiency of power plants decrease rapidly. According to data provided by the North American Reliability Association, after 40 years of operation of 50 to 200 Mw units, the accident shutdown rate will reach about 20%. Continued operation is considered unsafe and uneconomical, and new units need to be replaced.
