Power Generation

Description

• Conventional and non-conventional resources of energy
• Types of power plants (hydro, steam, gas turbine, combined cycle, cogeneration, nuclear & diesel/gas engine)
• Efficient and economical operation of plants
• Renewable energy resources and processes of their utilization, types of generators (Induction & synchronous), ratings, electrical parameters
• Generator characteristics (open-circuit, short-circuit, unbalanced load, over fluxing withstand)
• Generator capability diagram
• Generator excitation systems including automatic voltage regulator (AVR) and power system stabilizer (static and brushless type)
• Field flashing and field forcing
• Paralleling of generating units/synchronization
• Generator circuit breaker application
• Types of generator neutral grounding
• Power plant station, auxiliary power supply systems
• Testing of generators
