Power Plant Operations
Steam generation is still the most important source of electrical power for utilities and industrial plants. TPC’s Power Plant Operations training series addresses the need of the power plant worker to understand basic principles of power generation and the safe, efficient operation and maintenance of the power plant itself. Detailed courses also provide a foundation for learning more of the technical aspects of power plant operations and maintenance.
