2.00 Credits
Basic electrical theory, batteries, generators, motors, transformers, solenoids, relays, fuses, and circuit breakers are all covered in this topic. Many of the terms related to the production and use of electrical power are explained, and safe and efficient power production is emphasized.
-
2.00 Credits
Provide an introduction to the major systems and components that make up a modern power plant. Students learn how electric power is produced and distributed; how boilers, turbines, and condensers operate; and what the general responsibilities of plant operators are during all phases of plant operation. Specific attention is given to the flow of water and steam through the steam cycle, how combustion occurs, types of boilers and turbines, operation of steam cycle support systems, bearings and lubrication, turbine control, pollution control, and plant safety.
-
2.00 Credits
Introduces students to operation and function of components found in typical plant systems and how water and steam flow through these systems. Students should also be familiar with the symbols used to represent various components on system diagrams and with the operator checks important to maintaining efficient operation of plant systems and components.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the auxiliary equipment associated with the flow of fluids through plant systems. It discusses how fluid flows through piping systems; how fluid flow is affected by valves, traps, and strainers; and how centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps operate. Also examined in this topic are compressors, fans, and heat exchangers.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduce power plant instrumentation to the student. Emphasis will be given on the common types of instruments that measure and indicate pressure, flow, level, and temperature. Students learn how such values are transmitted to various plant locations and how to read and use piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs). Coverage includes both pneumatic and electronic control systems and equipment.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces students to power plant process control. Emphasis will center on the full range of pertinent equipment. Students will learn how to use pneumatic and electronic controls, actuators, sensors, transmitters, relays, and indicators. Students are introduced to terms such as setpoint, control point, deviation, proportional band, reset, rate, span, feedback, and feedforward. Combustion control diagrams for the following systems are also explained: a typical three-element boiler drum level control system, a fuel and air flow metering and control system, a typical hotwell level control system, and a steam temperature control system.
