Abstract: Thermal power generation is an important way to produce electricity, coal handling machinery is one of the most important equipment types in fossil-fuel power station, through the use of such equipment can carry out effective transportation of coal resources. However, because of the excessive use time and frequency of coal handling equipment in the process of thermal power generation, there are some hidden troubles, which need to be effectively managed. This paper analyzes the management and maintenance strategy of fossilfuel power station coal handling machinery, which can provide reference for equipment management and maintenance.
