About this Training Classroom
Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plants are complex and capital-intensive assets, facing increasing demands for efficiency, reliability, and flexibility in today's dynamic energy market. Premature failures, performance degradation, and inefficient maintenance practices can lead to significant financial losses and reduced plant availability. This course is designed to address these challenges by providing participants with a comprehensive understanding of CCGT design, operation, maintenance, and performance optimisation.
This five-day course deals with the design and detailed operation and maintenance characteristics of a gas turbine combined cycle power plant, with major emphasis on the major plant components and the performance of the plant. Overall design and operation concepts along with basic operation and maintenance problems for the various pieces of Turbo-Machinery including Gas Turbines, Steam Turbines, Generators, HRSG and Balance of plant Rotating equipment will be discussed.
Illustrating the design parameters of the Heat Recovery and Steam Generating (HRSG) systems, the feed water heaters and the Condensers are also included. Other topics covered include plant systems viz, fuel, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, instrumentation, components and BOP reliability program, thermal performance analysis, vibration analysis and on-line condition monitoring of the Power Plant. An emphasis is placed on providing practical information with minimal theory. Case studies with an aim of thorough understanding of Combined Cycle Power Plant life extension and evaluation and Performance Benchmarking for a typical 1400MW will be discussed in detail.
This course will be delivered face-to-face over 5-day, comprising of 8 hours per day, 1 hour lunch and 2 breaks of 15 minutes per day. Course Duration: 32.50 hours in total, 32.50 CPD points.
