Future Trends and Sustainability

The Combined Cycle Power Plant Operation training course begins with the principles and configuration of combined-cycle generation, linking thermodynamic cycles with the roles of the gas turbine, steam turbine and heat recovery steam generator. It then examines gas turbine construction, major components, combustion, operating characteristics and performance, before progressing to the steam and water cycle. Coverage includes steam turbine arrangements, condensers, feedwater systems and the principal auxiliaries that support efficient plant operation.

The agenda continues with heat recovery steam generator design, components, circulation, steam production and associated operating considerations, integrating these systems within the complete plant. It then addresses plant control and monitoring, operating parameters, start-up and shutdown sequences, loading and normal operating conditions. The closing topics cover performance assessment, efficiency and factors affecting output, together with abnormal conditions, trips, troubleshooting and operational responses. Maintenance considerations and the coordination of gas turbine, steam turbine, heat recovery and auxiliary systems complete the course progression.
