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

Yksilölliset oppimisväylät

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.

TKI ja työelämäyhteistyö

The course does not include RDI and working life co-operation.

Toteutuksen osien kuvaus

Opintojaksolla käydään teoriassa läpi höyrykattilan käyttöä ja harjoitellaan voimalaitoksen operointia simulaattorilla.
