-
0.50 - 6.00 Credits
Provides students with a vehicle to pursue in-depth exploration of special topics of interest.
-
0.50 - 6.00 Credits
Provides students with the opportunity to supplement coursework with practical work experience related to their educational program. Students work under the immediate supervision of experienced personnel at the business location and with the direct guidance of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces typical devices used to protect personnel and prevent damage to plant equipment. Also covered are generator, bus, and line differential protection, as well as high- and low-pressure protection. The material presented includes trip and alarm logic for chemical protection, turbine protection, boiler protection, and generator protection.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces typical devices used to protect personnel and prevent damage to plant equipment. Devices covered include fuses over current relays, and over- and under-voltage relays. The course covers practices for electrical protection of plant equipment and personnel.
-
3.00 Credits
Familiarize students with the basic laws governing heat in motion in a power plant. The course explains basic thermodynamic principles and shows how they apply to the efficiency of plant processes. After completing this unit, trainees should be able to explain the basic principles of thermodynamics and why they are important to power plant operation. Students should also be familiar with temperature/entropy charts and explain how they are used to determine and compare the efficiency of various processes in a plant cycle. NOTE: This course is designed to be conceptual in nature; emphasis of algebraic and/or calculus based Thermodynamics such as EGG 230 is not intended.
-
3.00 Credits
Explains various topics from steam turbine design, construction, and operation, including the tandem and cross-compound designs typically found in power stations to control and instrumentation systems. Other subjects covered include turbine startup, normal operations, procedures during abnormal and emergency conditions, and operator responsibilities.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the basic elements of generator design, protection, and operation. Students are introduced to the theoretical aspects of reactive power in power systems by analyzing the inductive and capacitive components of the system, with an emphasis on megavar loading as it is affected by the excitation system. The generator's auxiliary systems, including hydrogen cooling systems, stator cooling systems, seal oil systems, and generator degassing procedures, are also introduced, and the function and types of exciters commonly found in power plants are examined.
-
2.00 Credits
Identify a plant's effects on the environment, including air pollution controls, circulating water systems, wastewater systems, and pertinent laws and regulations. Various sources of environmental damage are covered, such as heat, chemical contamination of groundwater, excessive noise, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate stack emissions, unburned hydrocarbons, fuel oil spills, and coal dust. Students are also introduced to the most common types of flue scrubbers (wet and dry process), techniques for controlling nitrogen oxides, principles of filter bag house operation, and electrostatic precipitators.
