COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Power Plant Design. It covers the power plant design key parameters, power generation technologies, components of power plants and design considerations for efficiency and sustainability; the safety regulations and standards, risk assessment and mitigation strategies, emergency response planning and hazardous material handling; the thermodynamics in power plant design, heat generation and transfer mechanisms, steam and gas turbines and energy conversion efficiency; and the cooling systems in power plants and the impact of environmental conditions on heat transfer. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the electrical power generation systems and power plant control systems; the power plant protection, fault management and instrumentation and monitoring in power plants; the energy distribution and grid management, integration of AI and machine learning for predictive maintenance and automation of monitoring and diagnostics; the mechanical design of power plant components; and the piping and pressure systems and structural and civil design of power plants. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the water treatment systems in power plants, maintenance and reliability engineering and cost and resource management in power plant design; the environmental regulations and compliance and sustainability in power plant design; the air and water quality management, disaster preparedness, risk management and decommissioning and plant life extension; the digitalization and smart technologies in power plants, advanced energy storage and grid management; and the hydrogen fuel and its role in future power generation and development of small modular reactors (SMRs) and their design.
