Power Generation Training Courses > Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Performance

About this Training Course

This 5 full-day course will focus on all aspects of combined cycle power plants. All the equipment of combined cycle power plants such as compressors, gas and steam turbines, combustors, heat recovery steam generators, deaerators, condensers, lubricating systems, instrumentation, control systems, transformers, and generators will be explained in detail. The design, selection considerations, operation, maintenance, pay-back period, economics of combined cycles as well as emission limits, reliability, monitoring and governing systems will also be covered thoroughly. This course will also provide updated information related to all the significant improvements that have been made to combined cycle power generating plants during the last two decades.

Through sophisticated computer simulation, this course will illustrate how gas turbines and combined cycle plants perform under steady-state and transient conditions. In addition, the participants will learn how to use the computer simulation program which provides the following benefits:

  1. Allow the operator to extend the combined cycle power plant operating period by avoiding unnecessary outages and maintenance activities.
  2. Determine essential combined cycle power plant maintenance activities to reduce the duration of outages.
  3. Reap profit optimization of combined cycle power plants.
  4. Minimize the environmental emissions of combined cycle plants.

    The quality of trainer appointed by powerEDGE is exceptional

    Civil Engineer, Sarawak Energy Berhad

    This course was excellently conducted. It surely enhanced the knowledge of the participants

    Senior Manager, Sarawak Energy Berhad

    Great course. Trainer is knowledgeable and able to bring us through based on our knowledge level

    Electrical Engineer, Sarawak Energy Berhad

    The trainer was able to break down complex discussions into smaller, easier-to-understand fundamental steps, which increased understanding of a difficult subject like CCGT.

    Senior Engineer, Tenaga Nasional Berhad

    Good practical explanation that explains the theoretical parts in CCGT & apply it to the actual CCGT.
