As discussed in the previous course, safe and effective power plant shutdowns require interaction between plant operators who have a complete understanding of plant systems.

The Power Plant Shutdown Procedures training course focuses on the operating procedures and equipment knowledge needed to safely and effectively shut down a power plant. It describes the steps associated with taking a fossil-fired fuel plant off-line. It also explains how operators prepare a plant for an annual outage. This online course covers:

• Shutting down the boiler
• Shutting down the turbine/generator
• Preparing the plant for maintenance

This course is part of the Unit Startup and Shutdown training series.
