Course overview
The major components of a combined cycle power plant need many auxiliary systems to function. Understanding the auxiliary systemsr design and operation is important for safe and efficient power plant operation. Many components throughout a plant need cooling to function properly. Auxiliary systems provide cooling water to many of the heat loads. They are also responsible for making sure the water used during plant operations is clean and treated to reduce plant component corrosion. The Combined Cycle Auxiliary Systems training course describes the function and operation of the auxiliary components and systems in a typical combined cycle plant. It covers closed cooling water system, treatment, sampling, and analysis, and chemical addition methods. This course is part of the Combined Cycle Power Plant Operations training series.
