COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of CCGT Technology. It covers the CCGT systems, gas turbine and steam turbine fundamentals, combined cycle operation and fuel types and considerations; the key safety concerns in CCGT operations, monitoring and control systems, system reliability and maintenance requirements and emergency shutdown procedures; the key design factors for CCGT plants and layout and spatial requirements; and the integration of gas and steam turbines and power output and efficiency targets. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the function and types of HRSGs and its design principles for efficiency; the gas and steam cycle efficiency optimization, advanced turbine configurations and performance enhancement technologies; the cooling systems in CCGT, electrical systems and integration and automation and control systems; the detailed thermodynamic analysis of CCGT cycles and key performance indicators (KPIs) for operational efficiency; and the  calculation of heat rate, performance monitoring techniques and analyzing heat rate improvements. 

 

 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the environmental impact of CCGT technology, NOx and CO2 emissions reduction, compliance with environmental regulations and carbon capture and storage technologies; the flexibility and load following capabilities and maintenance strategies for CCGT systems including performance testing and optimization and advanced CCGT configurations; the modernization techniques for older gas turbines, upgrading to improve efficiency and performance, retrofitting with advanced control and monitoring systems and cost-benefit analysis of turbine upgrades; the combined heat and power (CHP) in CCGT, CCGT in district heating and cooling, turbine performance analysis and digitalization and smart CCGT plants; the CCGT in a low-carbon future and energy storage systems; and the emerging technologies in gas turbines and digital transformation.
