POWER GENERATION TRAINING PROGRAMS

L&K offers a comprehensive training program suitable for all plant maintenance staff (operators, maintenance technicians, craftsmen and management) involved in power generation. We simulate a wide range of essential expertise for ongoing maintenance work in modern power plants.

Our diesel power plant operation program is designed to enhance your existing knowledge and understanding of diesel power generation. We cover the practical aspects of installation operation and maintenance including local, remote control and monitoring work.

The environmental protection control program aims to widen knowledge and understanding of environmental concerns that relate to thermal power generating plants. We cover most of the common equipment and processes in use today, ensuring that power generation plants comply with environmental legislation.

Our other power generation training programs cover:

• Condition monitoring
• Diesel power plant operation
• Electric utility management
• Electrical troubleshooting skills
• Electrical fundamentals
• Gas turbine power generation
• Heat rate optimisation
• Hydro-electric generating station simulation software
• Hydro-electric power plant operations
• Steam power and co-generation

POWER DISTRIBUTION TRAINING

L&K provides a power distribution training program suitable for operators, maintenance technicians, craftsmen and management. We simulate a wide range of skills that are essential for operating modern power distribution equipment.

The company provides guidance on how to measure the rate of deterioration of equipment, analyse and interpret information and implement predictive maintenance.

We cover a broad range of fundamental topics relating to distribution system technology, including system protection, equipment testing, control and automation, maintenance, and the overall role of the distribution system operator. Aimed at the trained technician, a basic level of electrical theory is assumed.

One of our other most popular courses focuses on electrical relay tests and maintenance, with each module dealing with specific relays produced by individual manufacturers. Each lesson is split into two parts. The first covers the basic operating principles, typical applications and connections for relay types. The second illustrates a range of typical test procedures, including zero check, minimum pickup, timing tests, insulation tests and seal-in circuit tests.

Our other distribution training programs cover:

• Electrical trouble shooting skills
• Electric utility management
• Power quality
• Power system operation
• System protection technology
• Transformer station interactive simulation software
• Transmission system operation

POWER SYSTEM HARMONICS TRAINING

In addition to the above programs, L&K's transmission training program offers a variety of specialised courses.

Our power system harmonics course aims to familiarise engineers in the utility and industrial sectors with the fundamentals of harmonic distortion. We examine the causes, system parameters, operating conditions and equipment relating to harmonic distortion. We also focus on problem analysis and measurement, mitigation techniques and industry standards. After this, the learning process is supplemented with case study work.
