Turbine Plant Engineering

About the course

Steam turbines are some of the most used machines for energy conversion and electricity generation. This focused course will provide participants with an overview of their operation and how they can be modelled. The course will cover the steam turbine components as well as the associated feedwater heaters and condenser. The objective of the 5 day, in person course is to present a strong technical overview of the design, operation and maintenance of steam turbines and the associated equipment, such as the feedwater heaters, and to provide power plant engineers and technicians the required fundamentals and general understanding so that they can contribute meaningfully in design modifications, root cause analysis, and specification development for new or replacement equipment.

Course Content

The course will cover various aspects of Turbine Plant Engineering and operation, including:

• Fundamentals of axial turbines, including performance prediction
• Turbine operation, protection and maintenance
• Turbine auxiliary systems, condensate and feedwater train
• Shell and tube feedwater heaters: fundamentals, performance and maintenance.
