Description

  • Type

    Short course

As more and more combined cycle plants are brought into service, the generating companies will come under increasing competitive pressures. Additionally, the increasing use of wind and solar power imply major changes for combined cycle plant. As a result, they will need to understand the life usage implications of transient and peak-lopping operations in addition to base load duties. A better understanding of performance, availability and emissions, including CO2 issues will give some companies the edge in safeguarding their investment. Against this background, the aim of the course is to give the delegate a thorough understanding of combined cycle technology. In particular, the course content is structured to serve the particular needs and background of both power companies and manufacturers.
