ABOUT THIS COURSE
This 5 full-day course provides a comprehensive understanding of all the
commissioning procedures for combined cycle power plants. The Commissioning
Management System (CMS) of combined cycle power plants is covered in detail in
this course. This includes all the commissioning procedures and documents,
purpose of commissioning, responsibilities, system description, organization,
working parties, test teams, documentation, testing and commissioning schedules,
test reports, safety, plant certification, and plant completion report.
The course provides also a thorough understanding of all the commissioning
requirements for gas turbines, steam turbines and auxiliaries, generator and
auxiliaries, electrical equipment, switchgear equipment, switchgear and
transformers.
All the stages of the commissioning procedure are covered in-depth in this
course. This includes preparation - planning various activities,
pre-commissioning checks and tests, typical commissioning schedule, detailed
tests and commissioning procedures and instructions for every component in a
combined cycle power plant, instrumentation, trial run of the equipment, safety
and precautions, commissioning of combined cycle power plant systems, safety
rules clearance certificates, procedure for the control and handling of defects,
commissioning reports, operational testing, first fire, generator
synchronization, performance testing, heat rate testing, emission testing,
contract testing, CO2 concentration tests, electrical full-load rejection test,
duct burner testing, partial load stability test, and reliability test.
This course is a MUST for anyone who is involved in the pre-commissioning or
commissioning of any combined cycle power plant equipment because it provides
detailed pre-commissioning checks and tests, and detailed tests and
commissioning procedures and instructions for every component in a combined
cycle power plant. In addition, the seminar provides an in-depth coverage of all
preparation, planning activities, commissioning schedules, trial run of each
combined cycle power plant equipment, safety and precautions, safety rules
clearance certificates, procedures for handling defects, and commissioning
reports.

Training Methods
The instructor relies on a highly interactive training method to enhance the
learning process. This method ensures that all the delegates gain a complete
understanding of all the 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.
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.
* Industrial Instrumentation and Modern Control Systems (400 pages), Custom
