National economic development relies on long-term stable supply of electricity, and the stability of electricity supply absolutely relates to the quality of maintenance of power generation units. In the past, the electricity supply of Taiwan was exclusively dominated by the state-run Taiwan Power Company (Taipower). Following government de-regulation policy, the private IPP (Independent Power Plants) also have joined the grid of Taiwan's electricity supply that diversified electricity power supply.
This study collects power generation equipment maintenance cost information bases on practical detail cost information and labor cost paid by employer that listed in law or regulation. The information of estimating contrast cost which cannot be easily quantified is collected by questionnaire of power plant and contractor personnel who response for estimating cost of power generation equipment maintenance in order to gather practical cost estimating rules. After summarizing and analyzing collected maintenance cost data, easily calculating cost estimating model for power generation equipment had been proposed. The model can be set as criteria for cost estimating and examine the maintenance contract price of contractor in view of contractor cost.
Power generation industries had faced severe cost pressures due to the high rising fuel costs, but not readily reflect the cost of power generation to the electricity charges. In the condition of high price of fuel, the only way to save operational cost was to reduce expense of equipment maintenance and other operation costs. So, the power plants aim at lowing equipment maintenance costs to meet limited budget. Most power plants plan their equipment maintenance budget according to quotation of original equipment manufacturer or professional contractor. There are lacks of related cost information to examine whether the quotation is reasonable or not.
The study showed that the scale of contractor companies, indirect cost apportionment can affect indirect costs of contract cost, thereby affecting the contract price. The estimated profit will vary with many factors case by case such as market competition level, technical difficulty, working season, and duration etc.
