This course is intended for those specialising in mechanical power systems, with particular emphasis on developing understanding and skills required for the design, operation and maintenance of generating stations. The fundamentals of major sources of power generation technologies used world-wide are covered in this course with major emphasis on Diesel power plants and renewal energy generation such as steam and gas power plants. There is coverage on hydropower technology as well. The course also takes a leap to the substation equipment which is quite essential in centralised generation. Moreover, the course also goes in-depth in to economic mode to evaluate the generation logistics including the capacity, output and costs of power generation. This would enable Engineers to arrive to conclusions to choose the feasible solutions for power needs.
