Power Plant: Theory, Operation and Control Course

Course Overview:

This course includes practical course work targeted towards improvement of the understanding of the participants of different control systems.

This couse includes power plant operations, monitoring and optimization alongside maintenance. Starting from diesel generators to gas power and further to thermal stations that include power load forecasting systems and electrical engineering fundamentals. 

Participants will be able to explore multiple diagrams that encompass the basic power control schemas and how different schemas disturb the power plants in varying ways and the best selection criteria for algebraic structures. 

For reliability and enhanced performance in any kind maintenance station, this program provides participants with the skills to boost and enhanced the facilities in power generation.
