Power Generation, Distribution & Transmission

Power Generation: Industrial Gas Turbine Generator

Introduction

This program provides a thorough understanding of steam power plants, gas turbines, co-generation, combined-cycle plants, wind and solar power generating 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 in detail.  The design, selection considerations, operation, maintenance, pay-back period, and economics of co-generation plants and combined cycles, as well as emission limits, reliability, monitoring,g and governing systems, will also be covered thoroughly.  All the significant improvements that were made to co-generation, combined-cycle plants, wind and solar power generating plants during the last two decades will also be explained.

This program provides an in-depth understanding of all the equipment and systems used in steam power plants, gas turbines, co-generation, combined-cycle plants, wind farms, and solar power generating plants.  Computer simulation, design, selection considerations, operation, testing, maintenance and economics of all these power generating plants as well as emission limits, monitoring, and governing systems will also be covered thoroughly.

This program examines the advantages and disadvantages of each type of power generating plants.  The reliability, life cycle cost, profitability, refurbishment, and life extension methods of each type of power generating plants are also covered in detail.
