Course Introduction:
The Power Plant Operations training series addresses the need of the power plant worker to understand basic and advanced principles of power generation and the safe, efficient operation and maintenance of the power plant itself. It also provides a foundation for learning more of the technical aspects of power plant operations and maintenance.
This course also introduces waste-to-energy energy conversion, including fuel, furnace design, and plant operations.
Course Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
- Carryout maintenance and troubleshooting techniques on power plant performance and generators
- Understand the principle, process and operations of combustion
- Enumerate the requirements of fuel and lube oil
- Identify the components and functions of engine
- Discuss the principles of generators including generator auxiliary systems, generator construction and generator mechanical maintenance
- Determine excitation systems, voltage and frequency control
- Apply stator visual inspection and rotor visual inspection
- Distinguish abnormal operations and apply protective actions and recommendations for generator faults
- Perform testing and monitoring on pre-commissioning
