This course will provide comprehensive learning resources, including course materials for future reference. Each topic will commence with a clearly defined intended learning outcome (LO). The learning experience will be enriched through diverse activities such as quizzes, videos, and assessments, ensuring engagement and understanding. Besides supplementing the core material, participants will have access to additional resources like articles, case studies, and tools.

The course structure incorporates interactive elements, such as group discussions, case studies, and practical exercises, enhancing hands-on learning experiences. Q&A sessions will provide opportunities for clarifications and deeper understanding. Role-playing exercises will simulate real-world scenarios, allowing participants to develop decision-making and problem-solving skills through practical application.

With over 33 years of experience, your expert instructor has dedicated his career in enhancing reliability, optimising maintenance strategies, and assessing the remaining life of assets in the power industry. He has spearheaded critical evaluations of power plant equipment, including boilers, turbines, and generators, with the goal of maximizing efficiency and extending operating life. His expertise spans the study of reliability issues, performance analysis, maintenance optimization, and life cycle management of power generation assets.

Your expert instructor’s key projects include leading remaining life assessments and extension recommendations for thermal power plants and petrochemical facilities through a detailed analysis of degradation mechanisms and performance capabilities. He has conducted reliability-centred maintenance (RCM) studies for power plants, optimising maintenance strategies through Failure Mode Effects Criticality Analysis and Reliability Block Diagram modelling. He has implemented asset performance management systems, including GE Meridium, to enhance maintenance and reliability, thereby improving equipment availability and reducing costs.

Furthermore, he has been actively involved in major inspection evaluations on gas turbines, including GE Frame units, Siemens, and Mitsubishi, optimizing maintenance scope and costs. He has carried out performance optimization studies through benchmarking, diagnostics, and tuning of combined cycle power plants to boost efficiency, output, and emissions. Additionally, he has developed maintenance guidelines and strategies for power generation plants and critical rotating equipment, aiming to improve maintenance efficacy.

With a Master’s degree in Thermal Power Plants Engineering and certification as a Six Sigma Master Black Belt, he has not only applied his knowledge but also shared it globally. He has delivered training workshops and conferences on power plant performance, asset integrity management, reliability improvement, condition monitoring, and turbomachinery. His extensive hands-on experience, specialised training, and analytical expertise in power generation assets make him an ideal instructor for repurposing and extending the life of coal power plants. His technical knowledge and ability to train cross-functional teams position him well to teach this complex and critical topic.
