Combined Cycle Turbine Generator Fundamentals
Course Description
Reliability and availability of combined cycle power plants can be a matter of skilled routine operations and maintenance activities. These skilled routine operations and maintenance personnel begin their quest with a thorough understanding of combined cycle fundamentals. Understanding of the interaction of major components is required. Furthermore, understanding the operating needs of the individual components may be crucial to satisfactory operation of the machine.

Topical Outline includes: Thermodynamic principles as they apply to a combined cycle power plant, Descriptions of types of combustion turbines, Application, Major Gas Path Components, Major Auxiliary Systems, Starting Systems, Combustion Turbine Controls Overview, Generator Principles of Operation, Generator Components, HRSG, Steam Turbine Fundamentals, and the Condenser.

This course is intended for individuals who are new to combined cycle operation for power generation. It also provides an excellent refresher for persons that have been involved with combined cycle equipment and generators, but have not received any formal training.
