Course overview

The major components of a combined cycle power plant are the combustion turbine, heat recovery steam generator, steam turbine, and electrical generator. The Combined Cycle Power Plant Components training course is based on a heavy duty combustion turbine and explains the basic operation and common designs of the major components.

This online training course covers:

  • Combustion turbine
  • Heat recovery steam generator
  • Steam turbine
  • Generator
