 Introduction
Large proportion of the employees in Nepal Electricity Authority is working in the power production
and distribution centres. Producing hydro-electric power in power plants is limited to remote areas
and there is no easy access to the city and towns for consulting any kinds of support and marketing
of essential spare parts, Repair and maintenance of power stations is a vital job for the continue and
successful production of the power as well, The operation and maintenance of power station depends
upon the qualification, skill and motivation of the technicians working in the particular work stations.

To update the technicians in their jobs, Nepal Electricity Authority Training centre has launched a
number of training based on the operation and maintenance of power stations including some specific
maintenance training as well. The training on Turbine Maintenance and Approaches was
conducted for technician having mechanical background, the co9mmon and minor technical
problems can be solved by the technician's problems being observed in the workings period can be
minimized by training the proper technicians. Almost maintenance problems can be solved by using
basic hand tools and other machines like lathe, drilling, grinding, sawing and welding etc, Training
Center has trained the technician for identifying the problem frequently encountered in turbines and
their accessories; its maintenance including the operation of different types of turbines and its
accessories, starting from the theoretical concept, different practical aspects and visualizations were
made to understand the different machines in the hydro power system. A number of field visits were
made to sharpen the knowledge of the trainees.

decided to run the trainings based on Maintenance of hydro mechanical equipments in power
stations, the technicians are trained for the common problems they have to deal with and resolve it.
