About the POCPUE Program
Blue Ocean Academy's Power Plant Operations and Control program builds the operating knowledge a generation team needs to run a plant safely and efficiently. Participants study thermodynamic cycles, boilers, turbines, generators, auxiliary systems, control loops, startup and shutdown sequences, load dispatch and fault response. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual, the program helps operators, engineers and shift leaders read plant behavior, hold parameters steady and respond correctly when conditions change.
What You Will Learn
- Understand power plant cycles and energy conversion
- Apply safe startup, loading and shutdown sequences
- Evaluate boiler, turbine and generator performance data
- Implement control loop tuning and alarm response
- Analyze heat rate and efficiency losses
- Design routine monitoring and log keeping practice
