Course Description
The purpose of operation of a thermal power plant is to generate electricity and the main components are Boiler, Turbine & Generator and their auxiliaries. Let me go further as what is done in TPPs, fuel ie chemical energy is first converted into heat energy & this is further converted into mechanical energy which is converted into electrical energy.
Excellent Troubleshooting skills are considered a core competency. If your goals include minimizing downtime then this course is a must because it delivers rapid, efficient Troubleshooting. Some aspects will be addressed which includes problem solving terminology, numerous tools and techniques, a standard “blue-print” for problem analysis and resolution, strategies; planning; and protocols, variability analysis and “human factor” analysis as a source of error.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
Training Objective
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
- Understand how to become a troubleshooter
- Recognize the principles of thermodynamics and heat transfer
- Identify where thermal losses occur
- Determine if problems are due to equipment or operational difficulties
- Act to effectively control heat rate
- Monitor improvements and continually reassess strategies for optimum performance
- Develop a structured approach to troubleshooting and problem solving which uses a common terminology and shared understanding
- Point the way to continuous improvement in the way you run your processes and make incremental efficiency gains
- Understand the difference between having a techniques manual on the bookshelf – and actually making it work
- Identify the "motivated" people who should be the champions of troubleshooting and problem solving – and who should just follow
- Understand work practices which "allow" success in troubleshooting and problem solving
Target Audience
- Operator and shift personnel
- Maintenance engineers needing a broad understanding of power plant operation
- Auditors, health & safety specialists in power plant business
