PWRP 210 Turbines & Combined Cycle

Students enrolled in this course will study all the elements that make up a gas turbine and a combined cycle unit. This course also covers the safe and efficient operation of gas turbines and heat recovery steam generators and their different applications as used in combine cycle and cogeneration configurations. Coal gasification is also studied. This course covers basic steam turbine construction and design and associated auxiliary systems. Students will learn how thermal energy is converted to mechanical energy as the steam passes through a typical industry steam turbine. Students will also study the auxiliary systems associated with steam turbine operation, including extraction steam systems, gland steam sealing systems, turbine lube oil systems, seal oil systems, instrumentation and control devices and protective schemes used during abnormal operating conditions. Steam turbine start-up and shutdown procedures will also be studied.
