Basic Thermal Performance Training

The courses include hands-on exercises to drive home theory and practical application.

  • Thermal Performance Basics: Designed to review thermodynamic fundamentals and describe the essential elements of a thermal performance program
  • Power Plant Cycle & Component Evaluation: Designed to teach how to identify and recover lost megawatts throughout the thermal cycle with an emphasis on an integrated approach to understanding the thermal cycle
  • Thermal Plant Resources and Tools: Designed to provide the engineer a good understanding of resources used to evaluate thermal performance including trending, analysis, turbine testing, cooling tower testing, quantification of losses and software tools.
