Advanced Power Generation Gas Turbines, Co-generation and Combined Cycle Plants

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

Realize the cost of commercial power generation
Understand fundamentals and facts of power generation in heat engines and their efficiency
Gain knowledge about typical gas turbine and steam turbines and their energy cycles
Understand cogeneration and combined cycle plants and their difference
Benefit from the result of cogeneration and combined plants

Description
This two-day course covers the subjects of co-generation and combined cycle plants in detail and with emphasis on the rationale, economical benefits and the impact on environment. The fundamentals how a gas turbine and a steam turbine work are explained. Then how, by the nature of their operational properties, we can benefit from combining their cycles is discussed.

Some necessary principles of electric power are included for completeness.
