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 Modern Power Plant. It covers the types of power plants, key components of boilers, turbines, generators, power generation methods and power plant cycles and efficiencies; the basic thermodynamics in power plants, types of modern power plants and modern power plant design principles; the power plant safety standards and regulations, boiler and combustion systems, turbines, generators, heat recovery and steam generation; the cooling towers and their functions, types of cooling systems, water usage and environmental impacts; the power distribution and transmission basics, synchronization with the electrical grid, protection and control systems; and the smart grid technologies for modern power plants. 

 

Further, the course will also the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and distributed control systems (DCS); the automation in plant monitoring and optimization, real-time data analysis and decision-making; the preventive and predictive maintenance, power plant troubleshooting techniques, reliability engineering in power plants and condition monitoring tools and techniques; and the plant shutdown and turnaround management including risk assessment and management. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the environmental impact of power plants and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies; the CCS principles and processes, integration of CCS in modern power plants, environmental benefits,  challenges of CCS and future of CCS in reducing carbon footprints; the renewable energy integration, water management and conservation, sustainable design and green technologies; the emerging technologies in power generation, digitalization and the internet of things (IoT); the artificial intelligence and machine learning in power plants, smart grid and energy storage solutions; and the decentralized power generation.
