Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
Thermal Plant efficiency is a key economic issue in operation of thermal
power plants. The efficient utilization of fuel in Electric Power
Production is the main target of this course. Only by calculating and
monitoring the efficiency we can determine whether it is cost effective
to continue operating or the plant is requiring cleaning, or
maintenance. In addition, different plant losses must be identified and
understood and traditional and innovative methods to decrease these
losses taken. In as much as productivity is concerned in the development
of any society, place or industry.
Golden age
We are all towing towards that
direction of effective and efficient productivity. Productivity as the
case may be is the effective use of all factors of production; or each
factors of production which is defined as output to input. Recent years
have seen widespread discussion of productivity, and for good reason. It
appears that labour productivity growth has improved sharply, perhaps
approaching the pace of the “golden age” of the new millennium. To put
the importance of this recent change in perspective, consider the direct
impact of productivity in machine and human effort. If labour
productivity were to grow at 2.5% be output per hour will rise by 35%
after 5 years. Clearly, the rate of productivity growth or the rate of
productivity increase can have an enormous effect on real output and
standard of living.
Course Objectives
