Power Generation: Gas Turbines, Steam Power Plants, Co-Generation, & Combined Cycle Plants: Selection, Applications, Operation, Maintenance, & Economics

 Course Overview

As a power generator, your mission is clear: provide power to all customers, reliably and whenever it’s needed. This course will help power generation companies navigate the technology, engineering and design challenges associated with new or upgraded generators of power systems.

Course Objective

This course is designed to provide a thorough understanding of Steam Power Plants, Gas Turbines, co-generation and combined cycle plants. Each of the components such as compressors, gas and steam turbines, heat recovery steam generators, deaerators, condensers, lubricating systems, transformers, and generators are covered in detail. The selection considerations, operation, maintenance and economics of co-generation plants and combined cycles as well as emission limits, monitoring and governing systems will also be covered thoroughly. All the significant improvements that were made to co-generation and combined cycles plants during the last two decades will also be explained
