Training Methods
Your specialist course leader relies on a highly interactive training method to
enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all participants gain a
complete understanding of all topics covered. The training environment is highly
stimulating, challenging, and effective because the participants will learn by
case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught to their own
organization.
Each delegate will receive a copy of the following materials written by the
instructor:
* Excerpt of the relevant chapters from the 'POWER GENERATION HANDBOOK' second
edition published by McGraw-Hill in 2012 (800 pages)
* Excerpt of the relevant chapters from the 'POWER PLANT EQUIPMENT OPERATION
AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE' published by McGraw-Hill in 2012 (800 pages)
* STEAM TURBINE TECHNOLOGY MANUAL (includes practical information about steam
turbines maintenance, testing, and refurbishment - 500 pages)
Trainer
Your specialist course leader has more than 32 years of practical engineering
experience with Ontario Power Generation (OPG), one of the largest electric
utility in North America. He was previously involved in research on power
generation equipment with Atomic Energy of Canada Limited at their Chalk River
and Whiteshell Nuclear Research Laboratories. While working at OPG, he acted as
a Training Manager, Engineering Supervisor, System Responsible Engineer and
Design Engineer. During the period of time, he worked as a Field Engineer and
Design Engineer, he was responsible for the operation, maintenance, diagnostics,
and testing of gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, motors, transformers,
inverters, valves, pumps, compressors, instrumentation and control systems.
Further, his responsibilities included designing, engineering, diagnosing
equipment problems and recommending solutions to repair deficiencies and improve
system performance, supervising engineers, setting up preventive maintenance
programs, writing Operating and Design Manuals, and commissioning new equipment.
Later, he worked as the manager of a section dedicated to providing training for
the staff at the power stations. The training provided by him covered in detail
the various equipment and systems used in power stations. In addition, he has
taught courses and seminars to more than four thousand working engineers and
professionals around the world, specifically Europe and North America. He has
been consistently ranked as 'Excellent' or 'Very Good' by the delegates who
attended his seminars and lectures. He written 5 books for working engineers
from which 3 have been published by McGraw-Hill, New York. Below is a list of
the books authored by him;
* Power Generation Handbook: Gas Turbines, Steam Power Plants, Co-generation,
and Combined Cycles, second edition, (800 pages), McGraw-Hill, New York,
October 2011.
* Electrical Equipment Handbook (600 pages), McGraw-Hill, New York, March 2003.
* Power Plant Equipment Operation and Maintenance Guide (800 pages),
McGraw-Hill, New York, January 2012.
