Training for coal-fired power generation

Roles

• Boiler, HRSG & combustion engineers — Tube leaks, slagging and derates that keep coming back, and coal that is not the design coal.
• Plant operators & shift engineers — Startups, trips and load changes where operator actions decide equipment life.
• Plant chemists, water treatment & lab staff — Deposits, corrosion and cleaning decisions that rest on their numbers, plus sampling that holds up.
• Performance & efficiency engineers — Heat rate drifting with coal quality, part-load running and cycling.
• Turbine, generator & rotating equipment engineers — Vibration, valve and seal problems, and outage repairs on ageing machines.
• Maintenance, reliability & planners — Reactive work crowding out planned work, and outages that overrun.
• Inspection, integrity, corrosion & metallurgy — Telling damage mechanisms apart so the fix addresses the cause, not the symptom.
• Fuel management, coal quality & procurement — Cheaper or new coals that look fine on the spec sheet and cause trouble in the furnace.
• Bulk handling, conveyors, ports & terminals — Belt failures, spillage and blockages that stop the whole plant upstream.
• Protection, relay & control engineers — Settings that worked for years and now misbehave as fault levels change.
• Transformer & substation asset engineers — Ageing transformers, DGA results to interpret, and long lead times for replacements.
• Sustainability, ESG & energy transition — Turning net-zero targets into technology choices the plant can actually run.
• HSE, fire protection & compliance — Boiler and burner safety interlocks that only matter on the day they are tested.
