Course overview
The successful operation of Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HSRG) depends on operators following specific procedures and monitoring multiple parameters. The HRSG - Basic Operating Concerns and Conditions training course examines the startup and shutdown procedures for HSRG and its auxiliary systems. It also discusses normal operating checks.
This online training course explains the steps for startup. shutdown, and normal operations. It also covers conditions that may cause concern during operations. HSRG - Basic Operating Concerns and Conditions is part of the Combined Cycle Power Plant Operations series.
