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 Power Station. It covers the types, key components and systems of power stations and its role in national grid and load balancing; the thermodynamic principles in power generation, boiler systems in power plants, steam turbine basics and power plant generators; the electrical basics in power stations, auxiliary mechanical systems, high voltage switchgear systems and transformers in power stations; the instrumentation and control systems, turbine and generator protection, cabling and wiring systems; and the operation philosophy of power stations. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the water and steam cycle management covering feedwater system, condensate extraction and return, deaerator operation and steam quality control; the cooling water systems, performance monitoring, power quality and grid compliance; the emergency systems and black start comprising of emergency diesel generators, UPS and battery backup, fire suppression, safety circuits and black start sequence logic; the maintenance strategies in power plants and troubleshooting of major components; and the reliability and asset management and risk and safety management. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the NOx, SOx and CO₂ emissions control, continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS), ash and sludge disposal and regulatory compliance in UAE; the noise and vibration exposure, thermal stress and confined space, PPE selection, safety audits and reporting; the integrated water and power plant (IWPP) operation, desalination technologies in power stations, digitalization and smart plants; and the energy transition and decarbonization.
