Steam Power And Co-Generation
Online Courses for the Power & Utilities Industry
7401 Co-Generation & Other Turbine Cycles
The objective of this module, the first in the series on “Steam Power and Cogeneration” is to present the different cycle arrangements that are commonly employed in steam turbine power generation installations.
7402 Steam Production
The objective of this second module is to look at the concept of steam generation, and to present features of design and construction of boilers (steam generators). Both the water side and gas side of the boiler are dealt with, but the subject of combustion and burner equipment is left to the next tape.
7403 Fuels & Combustion
The objective of this third module is to present the characteristics of different types of fuel, and look at the factors governing efficient combustion.
7404 Boiler Operation
The objective of this module is to present the major features of boiler operation. Start-up, shutdown, and on-load conditions are dealt with, including a discussion on potential hazards and boiler protection devices.
7405 Boiler Control (Operation, Environmental, Chemical)
The objective of this fifth module is to focus attention on the areas of control which are essential for successful boiler operation including; automatic controls, boiler water conditioning, and environmental control.
7406 Steam Turbine Construction
The objective of this module is to present the major features of STEAM TURBINE construction, and support systems. Techniques of operation and control equipment are demonstrated and discussed in the next module.
7407 Steam Turbine Operation & Control
The objective of this seventh module is to present and discuss the major features of steam turbine operation, protection and control. Particular attention is paid to the effect of changes in load or steam temperature on mechanical operation of the turbine, and consequent need for supervisory instrumentation and automatic protection devices.
7408 Power Generation
The objective of this eighth module is to draw attention to important operating parameters of the POWER GENERATOR. A review of fundamentals is included as an aid to understanding the significance of generator control.
7409 Plant Auxiliary Systems
The objective of this module is to present and discuss typical arrangements of plant systems and auxiliary equipment, all of which fulfil a specific function and need in power plant operation.
7410 Power Plant Maintenance
The objective of this module is to present and discuss the various types of maintenance that must be carried out in a steam power plant. We also look at documentation, which is required for planning and control of maintenance. Also demonstrated are typical maintenance tasks that are normally performed on major items of equipment during plant inspection outages and major overhauls.
7411 Combined Heat and Power Systems
The objective of this module is to present the principles and practice of C.H.P. (Combined Heating and Power) systems. Utilizing heat recovery from different types of prime mover including steam turbines, gas turbines, and diesel engines. In addition to heat recovery equipment, typical district heating distribution systems are also discussed.
