Module Kraftwerkstechnik II

After successful completion of the module, students will be able to

• explain and evaluate the basic regulatory, economic and environmental issues involved in the construction and safe, efficient and sustainable operation of power plants,
• explain in detail the main systems of a steam power plant (water-steam cycle, fuel and firing system, flue gas cleaning system, supply and disposal system) and derive from this the optimisation potential for real plants,
• explain the different types of operation and system services to ensure electricity generation and evaluate the resulting challenges in the context of the energy transition, and independently carry out an in-depth comparison of the different types of electricity generation based on socially relevant criteria (e.g. environmental compatibility, security of supply, economic efficiency).

Content:

• Social demands on power plants
• The power plant park in the energy system transformation
• System technology of modern large power plants
• Operational technology of modern large power plants
