A highly interactive training course on
Power Plant Operations & Control
to Switching and Fault Incidents
Training course overview
This Power Plant Operations & Control training course provides an intermediate to advanced level of knowledge about the operation, control, construction, assemblies, and configuration of the most common types of fossil-fueled power plants, in particular thermal, gas, and diesel power stations. The training course also provides an insight into the concepts of electrical and mechanical engineering, electrical machines and electrical drives, thermodynamics, etc. to make the delegates well prepared for the subject.
This Power Plant Operations & Control training course gives a good understanding of the power station control variables, instrumentation techniques, monitoring and control of the processes and the operation of control devices, valves, sensors, actuators, heat exchangers, compressors, etc.
This training course will feature:
- Power generation theory
- Power plant types and their features
- Industrial plants, processes and control measures
- Thermal, gas, and diesel generation power plants operations and selection criteria
- Fundamentals of electric machines, drives and control devices
What are the goals?
By completing this training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the operation of power plants
- Analyze process and control diagrams
- Become familiar with maintenance, troubleshooting and control of power plants
- Comprehend the power plant parameters, disturbances and control techniques
- Learn about power plant features, selection criteria and optimization
Who is this training course for?
This Coventry Academy training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Power station operators, technicians, engineers and managers
- Electrical and mechanical engineers of different competency levels
- Project engineers and project managers
- Power station maintenance crew
- University graduates, site engineers and technical crew
How will this training course be presented?
This Coventry Academy training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes powerpoint slides, educational video clips, case studies, worked examples, and face-to-face discussion and exchange of ideas. This is a great engineering forum where all the delegates will have the opportunity to talk about their work experiences and discuss about the challenges they have faced and the possible solutions.
