Education @ Your Desk. A Live Webinar Class means that you will attend the class via the web using your computer. There are scheduled breaks for coffee and lunch. You use a microphone, headset, or your phone and are able to interact with the instructor and other students while following notes while watching the presentation slides online just as you would in a live classroom. Notes are posted online. For an extra cost a hard copy can be requested.
The virtual classroom is becoming more and more popular, and we have a lot of experience teaching in this format. The only real difference between a live in-class and live via webinar is where you sit and what you look at. You can learn from the comfort of your own home or office. You pay less for the live webinar format than you would for the in-class format, and you do not have to travel to another city to attend the class. Please contact us at [email protected] for Special Group & Corporate Rates for one or more participants.

Description
This seminar will cover all aspects of power generating plants used by independent power producers including co-generation, combined cycle plants, wind and solar power generating plants. This seminar will cover in detail all the components of these types of power plants such as: wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, inverters, wind turbine generators, compressors, gas and steam turbines, heat recovery steam generators, deaerators, condensers, lubricating systems, instrumentation, control systems, transformers, and generators. The design, selection considerations, operation, maintenance, pay-back period, economics of co-generation plants, combined cycles, wind farms, solar power plants as well as, emission limits, reliability, monitoring and governing systems are also covered in detail. This seminar will also provide updated information in respect to all the significant improvements that have been made to co-generation, combined cycles plants, wind and solar power generating plants during the last two decades.
This seminar will illustrate through sophisticated computer simulation how gas turbines, co-generation and combined cycle plants perform under steady-state and transient conditions. In addition, the delegates will learn how to use the computer simulation program which provides the following benefits:
-
Allow the operator to extend the gas turbine operating period by avoiding unnecessary outages and maintenance activities.
-
Determination of essential gas turbine maintenance activities to reduce the duration of outages.
-
Profit optimization of wind farms, solar power plants, co-generation and combined cycle plants.
-
Minimization of the environmental emissions of co-generation and combined cycle plants.
Who Should Attend
- Engineers of all disciplines
- Managers
- Technicians
- Maintenance personnel
- Other technical individuals

- Power Plant Selection and Applications: Gain a detailed understanding of the selection considerations and applications of power plants such as: co-generation, combined-cycle plants, wind turbines and generators, wind turbine farms, and solar power generation.
- Power Plant Profitability: Learn about the reliability, life cycle cost, profitability, refurbishment, and life extension methods for all types of power plants.
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 Features
Each delegate will receive a digital copy of the relevant course material taken from the books authored by the instructor:
1. “POWER PLANT EQUIPMENT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE” published by McGraw-Hill in 2012 (800 pages)
2. Practical manual (300 pages)
