INTRODUCTION
This seminar provides detailed description of coal power plant operation and maintenance. All the methods and procedures used to operate and perform maintenance and refurbishment activities in coal power plants will be covered in detail. All the techniques used to monitor the performance and efficiency of pulverized coal and circulating fluidized bed coal power plants and improve their heat rate (increase the efficiency) will be covered. All the processes, operational and maintenance activities, capital projects, technical options, potential initiatives and incentives to implement upgrades/repairs for increasing the plant efficiency, reliability and safety will be covered in detail. This seminar will also provide in-depth explanation of all the equipment and systems used in coal power plants. This includes, boilers, superheaters, reheaters, turbines, condensers, feedwater heaters, deaerators, pumps, compressors, fans, coal handling system, ash handling system, transformers, electric generators, instrumentation and control systems, and governing systems, etc. All the factors which affect power plant performance, efficiency, reliability, safety and emissions will be explained thoroughly. All the areas in pulverized coal and circulating fluidized bed power plants where efficiency loss can occur will be explained.
