Steam Turbine is a machine that converts the thermal energy of pressurized steam and transforms it into mechanical work. The turbine generates a rotary motion which is used to drive the electrical generator that generates electrical power. This course is designed with topics related to different industry oriented technical & functional areas of Steam Turbine and its Auxiliary systems & equipment in a power plant. The various modules and topics provide the learner detailed information and thorough industry- based knowledge on design, technical features, manufacturing, commissioning & operation of the specific technical areas of Steam Turbine & its Auxiliary systems.
