Introduction
 
This seminar covers the basic components, systems, design, selection criteria, applications, operation, maintenance, emissions, economics, profit optimization, revenue and life cycle cost analysis of all types of power generating plants including pulverized coal power plants, circulating fluidized bed boiler power plants, gas turbines, co-generation plants, combined cycle power plants, hydro-electric power plants, wind power generation and solar power. This seminar is for individuals who would like to gain a basic understanding of all types of power generating plants. All the concepts are presented in this seminar in the simplest form without relying on complex mathematics. This seminar is ideal for managers, investors, lawyers, accountants, engineers and all technical personnel who do not have any power generation background. The economics, profit optimization, revenue and life cycle cost analysis will be covered in detail in this seminar. Power generating plant equipment such as: pulverized-coal boilers, circulating fluidized bed boilers, gas and steam turbines, heat recovery steam generators, deaerators, condensers, governing systems, lubricating systems, instrumentation, control systems, transformers, and generators will be covered in detail in this seminar. This seminar will also provide up-dated information in respect to all the significant improvements that have been made to all types of power generating plants during the last two decades.

Training Methodology
 
The instructor relies on a highly interactive training method to enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all the delegates gain a complete understanding of all the topics covered. The training environment is highly stimulating, challenging, and effective because the participants will learn by case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught to their own organization.
 
Special Feature
 
Each delegate will receive a digital copy of the following materials written by the instructor:
  1. Excerpt of the relevant chapters from the “POWER GENERATION HANDBOOK” second edition published by McGraw-Hill in 2012 (800 pages) presented in a digital format
  2. Excerpt of the relevant chapters from the “POWER PLANT EQUIPMENT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE” published by McGraw-Hill in 2012 (800 pages) presented in a digital format
  3. POWER GENERATION MANUAL (includes practical information about all types of power plants - 300 pages)

The PDDP Distance Education program works as follows:

  • Once you register for this course, you will be sent a login username and password for our online distance website.

  • You will receive the course notes in hard copy through the online website, you will receive a set of notes each week covering the course material.

  • A one hour video-conference session will be conducted by your instructor each week (if required). The objective of this session is to assist in solving the assignments, as well as answer student questions that should be sent to instructor early enough prior to the meeting time. In addition with being able to communicate with the instructor, you will also be able to communicate with other students in the same class and watch their questions being answered as well. (A high speed internet connection is strongly recommended for this feature).

  • Each set of exercises can be completed and submitted by the indicated date and your completed exercise will be marked online and and returned by your instructor.

  • To gain the most from your course, it is highly recommended that you participate fully in all discussions and exercises. Please remember that each course has a form of quiz or exercise at the end to test your understanding of the material. You will be informed of these dates when you receive the course schedule.
