Objective
After completing this course, you will be able to
* describe the cooperation of main machinery and other process devices of a power plant
* analyze the working principles of main measurement, control, valve and motor loops in power plant processes
* present the arrangement and operation of process control systems in energy production processes
* use human machine interfaces (HMI) of process control systems
* run power plant simulators and analyze power plant processes related to them.
Content
How are fuel and air feed, combustion and flue gases, water feed, steam production and power generation functionally related to each other?
How can you affect the production of high pressure steam, the electric power of a turbine or the toxic emissions of flue gases?
What type of control systems are needed in large-scale, centralized or small-scale, distributed energy production?
How should an operator take the fuel feed into a manual mode or start a feed water pump?
How should we take care of functional safety in energy production?
Qualifications
Prerequisite courses are
1. Power plant processes
2. Measurement and control technology

Materials
Most of the material is in Learn.
Course books:
Power plant technology
Power plant automation
Teaching methods
In the work week-based pathway, students participate in instruction and supervision according to the reading order. The studies are rhythmized according to group meetings and independent learning tasks. Work-week-based instruction can also be online instruction, with lessons displayed in reading order.
In the route that speeds up studies, the student can choose studies, from the rules of procedure of another group.
Employer connections
The course does not include RDI and working life co-operation.
