Specialization - 6 course series

This specialization provides a comprehensive understanding of steam turbines and their auxiliary systems across the entire power plant lifecycle, from design and manufacturing to erection, commissioning, operation, and maintenance. Learners will explore turbine performance, governing and control systems, lubrication and EH oil systems, condensers, feedwater systems, protection schemes, and TG island integration within thermal and combined cycle power plants.

Through practical industry-oriented topics, case studies, and real-world plant applications, participants will gain the technical competence required to evaluate, operate, troubleshoot, and optimize steam turbine systems. The specialization is ideal for engineers and professionals involved in power plant design, construction, commissioning, operations, maintenance, and reliability management.

Applied Learning Project

Learners will complete industry-based projects focused on steam turbine performance evaluation, auxiliary system analysis, turbine control and protection, TG island integration, and commissioning activities. Using real power plant scenarios, they will apply engineering principles to solve operational, reliability, and performance optimization challenges encountered in thermal and combined cycle power plants.
