Combined Cycle Power Plants Course
Operation, Maintenance and Planned Optimization
Instructor: Dr. Meherwan P. Boyce, P.E.
This four-day course deals with the design and general operation and maintenance characteristics of a combined cycle power plant, with emphasis on the major plant Components and the performance of the plant. Overall design and operation concepts along with basic operation and maintenance problems for the various pieces of TurboMachinery (Gas Turbines, Steam Turbines, and Boiler Feed Water Pumps) are discussed. Discussions and design parameters of the Heat Recovery and Steam Generating (HRSG) systems, the feed water heaters and the Condensers are also included. Other topics covered are bearings and seals, lubrication systems, instrumentation, vibration analysis, flexible couplings aero-thermal performance and on-line condition monitoring of the Power Plant. An emphasis is placed on providing practical information with minimal theory. Participants are encouraged throughout the course to be engaged in active discussions so as to maximize their experience from the instructor and other participants. Click
