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?
