Thermal Power Plant Engineering and Optimization Course
Optimise thermal power plants through cycle analysis, heat-balance assessment, equipment performance, flexibility, emissions and efficiency improvement.
Training Outlines
Introduction
Thermal power plants must deliver reliable, flexible output while controlling fuel use, emissions and equipment stress. Engineering optimisation requires a system-wide understanding of thermodynamic cycles, component performance, heat losses and operational constraints.
This course develops practical methods for analysing and improving steam, gas-turbine and combined-cycle plants. Participants will construct heat balances, diagnose efficiency losses, evaluate flexibility and optimise major equipment and auxiliary systems.
Objectives
- Analyse Rankine and Brayton cycle performance
- Construct plant heat and mass balances
- Evaluate boiler and combustion efficiency
- Assess steam and gas-turbine performance
- Optimise condensers and auxiliary systems
- Quantify heat-rate and loss improvements
- Manage cycling and flexibility impacts
- Integrate emissions and water constraints
