Abstract
The competition in the energy market involves the development of environment-friendly and high scale power output plants. The major types of reliable power generation plants are found to be nuclear and hydropower plants which are manifested as a promising source of energy that produces power on a large scale. Human errors are mainly occurring during the maintenance, design (planning), and operation phases. Such errors are the main causes of performance degradation by imposing economical and technical losses. This paper keen on investigating the human error causes that lead to performance degradation in power plants. It was realized that human error is mainly caused by bad human resources strategies, experience, time Pressure, motivation, maintenance culture, and faulty materials (monitoring tools) while studying the same over two nuclear and one coal-fired power plants. This research contributes to strengthening and filling the literary gap by investigating human errors in the maintenance of power plants to identify future studies and identify current open issues on human error in power plants.
