A Project Management Framework for Fuel Conversion Projects : A case study
The push towards sustainability and the improved availability of natural gas has resulted in an increase of fuel conversions of engine power plants. Fuel conversion of a power plant may result in financial, operational, or environmental benefits. Fuel conversion projects can be classified as retrofit projects which can require a different project management approach compared to new build projects. The aim of this research is to study the project process of a company that performs fuel conversions of existing engine power plants. In line with the aim the following research questions emerged, RQ1: what does the fuel conversion project process look like? and RQ2: how can a project management framework support knowledge transfer of fuel conversion projects? Based on the current project process a project management framework is developed to create a defined structure that can support the execution of upcoming projects. The second objective of the framework is to facilitate knowledge transfer of fuel conversion projects to increase the organizational capacity of performing the projects. The research method used in the research is the case study method. The data collection included semi-structured interviews, company documents, observations, and a workshop. The developed framework complements the existing project model in use by specifying the project delivery of fuel conversion projects by dividing the delivery into five phases. The framework includes a summarizing table, visualization of the main project activities, descriptions of each phase, challenges, and success factors of fuel conversion projects. The framework enables knowledge transfer by working as a knowledge market where experienced team members can share their knowledge to less experienced ones. The research concluded that fuel conversion projects are susceptible to challenges regarding tight schedules, cost deviations, engineering quality, combining new designs with old designs, material and site manpower availability, and occurring changes during the ...
