Heat Rate Audit & Analysis of Thermal Power Plants

Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 4,500

Overview

The availability of Fuels required for Power Plants is reducing and their costs increasing rapidly. This gives rise to increase in the Cost of Generation of Electricity. But Electricity Regulators have to control the price of Electricity so that consumers are not stressed with High Costs.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the major Aspects in GT, Boiler and Desalination Plant
• Do Basic Performance Calculations
• Know and understand how to calculate Heat Rate Analysis
• Explain Controllable and Non– Controllable losses

The portfolio covers reliability-centred maintenance (RCM), preventive and predictive maintenance, condition monitoring and vibration analysis, root cause failure analysis, rotating and static equipment, asset management and maintenance planning — including preparation for the CMRP (Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional) credential.

Who should attend a mechanical, maintenance or reliability course?

These courses suit maintenance and reliability engineers, maintenance planners and schedulers, mechanical and rotating-equipment technicians and supervisors, condition-monitoring analysts, asset and plant managers, and operations staff accountable for equipment availability.

How long are mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses, and where are they held?

Most Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.

What certificate will I receive?

Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.

Can mechanical, maintenance and reliability training be delivered in-house for our team?
