Power Generation: Gas Turbines, Steam Power Plants, Co-Generation, and Combined Cycle Plants: Selection, Applications, Operation, Maintenance, and Economics Course
Introduction:
A thorough understanding of gas turbines, steam power plants, combined cycle plants, wind and solar power generating plants, cogeneration, and cogeneration is provided by this program. All of the parts, including transformers, generators, deaerators, condensers, instrumentation, control systems, compressors, gas and steam turbines, and heat recovery steam generators, are covered. Along with covering emission restrictions, reliability, monitoring, and regulating systems, other topics include the design, selection considerations, operation, maintenance, and economics of co-generation plants and combined cycles. It will also be explained how co-generation, combined-cycle plants, wind, and solar power generating facilities have significantly improved during the past 20 years.
Course Objectives:
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 cycle plants during the last two decades will also be explained.
