Course Description
This programme provides a detailed understanding of steam power plants, gas turbines, co-generation, combined cycle plants, wind and solar power generating plants. Each of the components such as compressors, gas and steam turbines, heat recovery steam generators, deaerators, condensers, lubricating systems, instrumentation, control systems, transformers, and generators are covered. The design, selection considerations, operation, maintenance, and economics of co-generation plants and combined cycles as well as emission limits, reliability, monitoring and governing systems will also be covered. The significant improvements that were made to co-generation, combined cycles plants, wind and solar power generating plants during the last two decades will also be explained.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
This programme provides an in-depth understanding of all the equipment and systems used in steam power plants, gas turbines, co-generation, combined cycle plants, wind farms, and solar power generating plants. Computer simulation, design, selection considerations, operation, testing, maintenance and economics of all these power generating plants as well as emission limits, monitoring and governing systems will also be covered thoroughly.
This programme examines the advantages and disadvantages of each type of power generating plants. The reliability, life cycle cost, profitability, refurbishment, and life extension methods of each type of power generating plants are also covered in detail.
