Power Generation Maintenance Training (Webinar)
Credit: 3 CPD
Subject Matter Expert: Charles Mack, P.E.
Type: Live Interactive Webinar
In Power Generation Maintenance Training, you'll learn ...
- The maintenance principles, reliability practices, and asset management strategies required to sustain power generation equipment performance
- The integration of hydroelectric, CCGT, generator protection, and grid coordination maintenance programs within a modern generating facility
- The evaluation of asset condition, operational risk, and maintenance effectiveness using industry standards, health scoring, and performance metrics
- How to develop maintenance, reliability, and financial strategies that improve plant availability while supporting regulatory compliance and operational excellence
Overview
This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of maintenance strategies, reliability practices, asset management principles, and protection systems used in modern power generation facilities. Participants examine maintenance requirements for hydroelectric generation systems, combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants, generator protection schemes, and grid coordination practices. The webinar explores industry standards from IEEE, IEC, ASME, NERC, EPRI, and other governing organizations that support safe and reliable plant operation.
The training emphasizes predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, outage planning, reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), root cause analysis (RCA), and risk-based decision making. Participants learn how to diagnose equipment health using dissolved gas analysis, generator testing, transformer diagnostics, MOV signature analysis, and asset health scoring methodologies. Additional topics include Maximo asset management, Yellow and Red Zone risk frameworks, contractor management, deferred maintenance liability, and O&M budgeting strategies.Through practical case studies and real-world examples, engineers and maintenance leaders gain tools to improve equipment reliability, reduce forced outages, optimize maintenance spending, strengthen compliance programs, and enhance overall plant performance across hydroelectric, fossil-fueled, and grid-connected generation assets.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the water-to-wire maintenance process for hydroelectric generating units.
- Assess maintenance intervals, inspection requirements, and failure mechanisms for combined-cycle gas turbine and HRSG systems.
- Apply generator protection relay, breaker coordination, and grid protection principles to power-generation facilities.
- Interpret dissolved gas analysis results and Duval Triangle diagnostics for transformer condition assessment.
- Evaluate predictive, preventive, and reliability-centered maintenance strategies for critical generating assets.
- Plan outages using contractor management and cross-functional coordination practices.
- Configure Maximo Asset Health Scoring for condition monitoring and work prioritization.
- Prioritize risk responses using Yellow Zone and Red Zone asset-condition thresholds and escalation protocols.
- Develop root-cause analyses using 5-Why, Fishbone, FMEA, and Fault Tree methods to prevent recurring failures.
