Combined Cycle & Nuclear Power Plant Engineering

О курсе

This course specialization provides a comprehensive introduction to gas-based and nuclear power generation technologies, focusing on plant configuration, major systems, and operational principles. It begins with the advantages and historical development of gas turbine power plants, covering open cycle and combined cycle power plants along with their layouts. Learners gain detailed understanding of gas turbine components, auxiliary systems, and associated subsystems such as intake filtration, turbine cooling, lubrication and jacking oil systems, hydraulic and control oil systems, blow-off systems, fuel gas and fuel oil systems, water injection, purge water, sealing air supply, and compressor cleaning techniques. The specialization further explains the role and classification of Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) in combined cycle power plants, along with layout inputs, configuration-based classifications, and key layout considerations. In addition, the course introduces nuclear power plant technology, covering working principles, components, reactor classifications, and thermodynamic cycles. Detailed attention is given to Boiling Water Reactors, Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors, Gas-Cooled and Breeder Reactors, including safety systems, Indian PHWR safety features, fuel and water systems, major nuclear accidents, waste disposal, site selection, and plant layout. This integrated approach builds a strong foundation in modern power generation systems.
