Training Outlines

Introduction

Power-generation portfolios must balance reliability, flexibility, efficiency, affordability and environmental performance. Technology decisions increasingly require engineers to compare conventional plants with variable renewables, storage-enabled resources and emerging low-carbon options.

This course examines the operating principles, performance characteristics and selection criteria of major generation technologies. Participants will evaluate plant efficiency, flexibility, lifecycle economics, environmental impacts and integration requirements within modern power systems.

Objectives

Explain energy-conversion principles across generation technologies
Evaluate thermal-plant efficiency and operating performance
Compare hydroelectric and nuclear generation characteristics
Assess wind, solar and other renewable technologies
Analyse flexibility, ramping and ancillary-service capability
Estimate lifecycle cost and capacity-factor implications
Evaluate emissions, water and environmental constraints
Select generation portfolios for defined system requirements
