Power Plant Maintenance & Reliability
Improve plant heat rate, prevent turbine trip incidents, and safeguard critical boilers and generators.
Course Overview & Scope
A focused training programme for improving maintenance performance and reliability in thermal, captive and utility power plants. The course helps teams manage critical turbine-generator sets, boiler feed pumps, coal mills, and auxiliary systems to reduce forced outages.
Curriculum & Key Modules
Comprehensive 6 core technical modulesPower Plant Asset Criticality & Heat Rate Management
Evaluating financial penalties of forced outages, turbine heat-rate degradation, and auxiliary power consumption.
Steam & Gas Turbine Lubrication & Control Fluids (EHC)
Turbine oil oxidation, varnish prevention, Electro-Hydraulic Control (EHC) phosphate ester fluid maintenance, and moisture removal.
Boiler Feed Pumps (BFP) & Condensate Extraction Pumps
High-pressure pump bearings, mechanical seals, minimum flow recirculation, cavitation prevention, and vibration monitoring.
Coal Handling, Bowl Mills & ID/FD/PA Draft Fans
Coal pulverizer gearbox lubrication, fan unbalance/misalignment detection, aerodynamic resonance, and bearing thermal growth.
Transformer Oil Testing & Electrical Substation Reliability
Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA), breakdown voltage (BDV), moisture in oil, furan testing, and condition-based transformer maintenance.
Overhaul Management & Outage Optimization
Planning capital overhauls, NDT on turbine rotors and boiler tubes, alignment protocols, and post-overhaul commissioning.
