Summary

The British Academy for Training and Development offers a course on the technical management of power generation stations. The variety of power generation stations corresponds to the diverse energy sources used in this field. Although the technologies employed vary from one station to another, the units that make up these stations rely on similar systems that operate based on two main stages. The first stage involves converting the available natural energy into kinetic mechanical energy using the appropriate turbines. The second stage is converting mechanical power into electrical power using electric generators.

These power stations depend on various types of fuel, which is converted into thermal energy after combustion and then into kinetic energy. This is done either by directly utilizing combustion gases, as seen in gas turbine and diesel power stations, or by heating water and utilizing steam pressure to drive the turbines. This mechanical power is transmitted to electric generators via a shaft, which in turn converts it into electrical power according to specific standards that are automatically regulated by the control systems of these stations.
