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
