Generation

This curriculum is aimed at all personnel who are involved in plant maintenance including operators, maintenance technicians, craftsmen and management. Our Objective is to present techniques used in modern plants to measure on an ongoing basis, the rate of deterioration of equipment, analysis and interpretation of such information, and the resultant implementation of predictive maintenance.


Condition Monitoring

This program is aimed at all personnel who are involved in plant maintenance including operators, maintenance technicians, craftsmen and management. Our Objective is to present techniques used in modern plants to measure on an ongoing basis, the rate of deterioration of equipment, analysis and interpretation of such information, and the resultant implementation of predictive maintenance.

Combined Cycle Technologies

Combined Cycle plants employ both steam turbines and combustion (gas) turbines and are operated in a manner which raises the overall plant efficiency almost 60%. This significant improvement in efficiency is achieved by using the waste heat from the combustion turbine exhaust in the production steam for the steam turbine cycle. The popularity of combined cycle plants has increased dramatically in recent years, driven both by the increasing cost of fossil fuels and by the increasingly stringent regulations regarding emissions of all sort. We have created this series to assist engineers, trainers, maintenance staff, and plant operators with the knowledge necessary in Combined Cycle Technologies.

Diesel Power Plant Operation

This program is designed to aid in upgrading knowledge and understanding of diesel power generation. It covers the practical aspects of operation and maintenance of installations including local, remote control and monitoring. The program is presented at the technician level.

Distribution System Training

After a brief review of electrical fundamentals, this program moves on to cover various aspects of distribution system technology. Topics include distribution networks and equipment, system protection, control and automation, equipment testing and maintenance, and the distribution system operator's role. It is presented on the technician level and knowledge of basic electrical theory is assumed.
