The steam turbine is an essential part of all combined cycle power plants. Generators rely on rotating motion to produce electrical power. The heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) produces high-energy steam, which the steam turbine then converts into rotational energy for driving the generator.

The Steam Turbines in a Combined Cycle Power Plant training course describes the turbine's basic components. It explains their purpose in relation to a combined cycle power plant. It also identifies common turbine auxiliaries and describes basic steam turbine operations. This online course includes:

• Energy conversion in a steam turbine
• Basic steam turbine design
• Turbine valves
• Steam turbine operation

This course is part of the Combined Cycle Power Plant Operations training series.
