This course specialization provides a structured and industry-oriented understanding of steam power plant engineering, covering the complete process from steam generation to power production and emission control. It begins with the fundamentals of steam generation, including boiler definition, types, auxiliaries, and detailed study of steam generators. The course covers Fluidized Bed Combustion boilers and Pulverized Coal–fired steam generators, with technical emphasis on subcritical and supercritical steam generators and their circulation systems. Key topics include fuel firing systems, heat transfer, efficiency assessment, air and draft systems, power station fans, air heaters, soot blowers, and coal milling systems, including feeders and pulverizers.

Environmental control is addressed through overviews of Electrostatic Precipitators, bag filters, Flue Gas Desulphurization systems, and NOx reduction techniques using SCR and SNCR. The specialization also introduces steam turbines, their types, major components, auxiliary systems, condenser, condensate, and feedwater systems, providing an integrated view of thermal power plant operation.
