Why Attend
This programme provides a detailed understanding of steam power plants, gas turbines and combined cycle 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 turbines as well as emission limits, reliability, monitoring and governing systems will also be covered. The significant improvements that were made to power plants during the last two decades will also be explained.
