SESP | Saudi Electric Services Polytechnic > Power Plant Operation Program-ARAMCO Power Plant Operation Program-ARAMCO The first program of the proposal is suggested in order to provide Aramco trainees with a basic operational understanding and application of thermal & electrical engineering and mechanics to different power plant systems. Proposal may cover types, construction, working principles and performance of power plant equipment such as boilers/steam generators, steam and gas turbines, heat exchangers, cooling towers, internal combustion engines, electrical and control systems, and water treatment. Overall power plant performance is also introduced to enable the trainees to determine whether the power plants are running efficiently and effectively. Educational/vocational objectives The expected learning educational/vocational objectives are that the trainees will be able to: Define basic terms and properties used in thermodynamics, state laws of thermodynamics and apply them to different thermodynamics systems. Understand different types of power plants as well as principles of fluid mechanics. Learn the use of steam tables, represent types of power plant cycles on pressure – volume and temperature – entropy diagrams and calculate efficiencies List the methods and advantages of reheating of steam and explain the advantages of regeneration. Discuss function, types, and application of feed water heaters. List types, applications and describe working principles of common boilers/steam generators, HRSG, and their components. Describe types, advantages and operating principles of steam generators and auxiliary systems. Learn fuel types and combustion. Evaluate the operation performance of steam generators. Describe the construction and working principles of impulse and reaction steam turbines, and show an understanding of velocity diagram of turbines, and auxiliary and control systems. Evaluate the steam turbine performance. Describe condensers and cooling water system. Research the operating principles of various types of water treatment processes (Filtration, Sand filters, Demineralization, Reverse osmosis, Desalination by Evaporating process, De-aerators and Boiler feed water monitoring). Take Water samples and perform water testing. Describe the construction and working principles of gas turbine power plants. Evaluate the performance of a gas turbine power plant. Describe the construction, working principles and advantages of a combined gas turbine – steam turbine power plant and evaluate the performance of a combined cycle Describe the function of the instrumentation control within a process control system of a power plant Demonstrate a basic knowledge of electrical generators, types and components Demonstrate an understanding of single and three phases, frequency and excitation Demonstrate an understanding of phasing and synchronization and loading of a generator Demonstrate a knowledge of power transmission characteristics, transformation, and Uninterrupted Power Supply UPS Demonstrate a knowledge of principles of electrical generation and transmission.
