Project Description
Why attend
The course is designed to provide an in-depth perspective of steam and gas turbine, co-generation/ combined cycle plants technology in terms of theory of operation, selection, practical operation. Topics covered include steam and gas turbines terminology, rotor dynamics, blade (bucket) design, burners (GT), housings, materials of construction, shafts, bearings, seals, generators, HSRGs, auxiliary systems, and control systems.
Other topics include extensive theory on operation of combined cycle gas plants, plant types, fuel types, gas engines, recovery boilers, water steam cycle, electrical systems etc.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Identify the different Gas and Steam turbine components which include turbine rotors, balancing, rotor dynamics, casings, bearings, shaft sealing devices and lube oil management
Identify the construction, support & auxiliary systems as well as the mechanical maintenance of the gas turbine generator.
Explain in detail the mechanical design, configurations, application ranges and constraints for steam turbines.
Perform the selection and sizing of steam turbines for compressor and generator drives and recognize the operation and management of steam turbines.
Understand the basic design/diagrams and operation of combined cycle and cogeneration plants. Understand efficiency issues and requirements for each type.
Emphasize on the requirement of each component of the plant type, turbines, recovery boilers, generators, steam cycles, heat recoveries, electrical and auxiliary systems, as well their operation in the most practical way.
Who should attend
This course provides an overview of all significant aspects and considerations of cogeneration and combined cycle plants and especially their main parts, gas and steam turbines in accordance with the international standards for all professionals involved in the sizing, selection, operation, inspection, of gas and steam turbines. This includes process engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers, supervisors and operators.
