The objective of this module is to present the major features of steam turbine construction, and support systems.

By the end of this course delegates will learn about:

• Major components of the steam turbine
• Conversion of heat energy (in steam) to rotating mechanical energy
• Stationary and moving blades
• Impulse and reaction blading
• Steam conditions at turbine exhaust

Electrical Engineers, Power Generation Engineers, Power System Protection Engineers, Process Control Engineers & Personnel, Electrical and Instrumentation Technicians & Design Engineers, Maintenance Technicians & Supervisors, Plant Operators & Technicians, Oil & Gas Industry Personnel

This interactive Training will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas and will include:

• Lectures
