CT101 - Combined Cycle Plant Fundamentals
|
|
3 days - 1.9 Continuing Education Units Awarded
For new personnel entering the power plant industry, the initial experience can be overwhelming. The goal of this course is to familiarize operating personnel with the balance-of-plant aspects of operating a combined cycle power plant. For information regarding the "thermal-block", see our course CT301, Combined Cycle Turbine-Generator Fundamentals. This course is intended for operating personnel new to combined cycle power plant operations.
OBJECTIVES
At the completion of this course the participant will be able to:
- Describe the four phases of the power generation cycle as it pertains to combined cycle systems
- Describe the operation and major components of a combustion turbine
- Describe the operation and major components of the heat recovery system
- Describe the operation and major components of a steam turbine
- Describe the operation and major components of the condensate system
- Describe the interaction between the Rankine and Brayton Cycles
- Describe how each component interacts with each other component in the system
- List and briefly describe the environmental systems typically found in a combined cycle power plant
