Power Generation Operations & Control Systems

Power generators are highly specialized pieces of equipment. Depending on the kind of station and the generators used, it produces power at various voltage and power levels and runs continuously. Is your plant or fleet operating at optimal performance? The answer depends on how you manage balance reliability, availability, maintainability, reduce operating costs, and combine people, processes & technology. Individuals who work in a power generation plant should have updated installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting skills. Additionally, they should have diagnostic tools that can measure a generator’s energy output and determine any lag on the part of the engine itself.

This Power Generation Operations & Control Systems course will give you a comprehensive understanding of the various types of generators, exciters, automatic voltage regulators (AVR’s), speed governors, and protective systems. This course will focus on maximizing equipment’s efficiency, reliability, and longevity. It will provide an understanding of the characteristics, selection criteria, common problems, repair techniques, preventive and predictive maintenance. This course emphasizes inspection methods, diagnostic testing, troubleshooting and upgrade options, and advanced methods for preventing partial discharge and other generator failures.
