2 Course Overview This seminar provides a comprehensive understanding of the life cycle assessment, performance evaluation and turnaround management of hydro-electric power plants. The purpose, methodology, impact categories, and advantages of life cycle assessment of a hydro-electric power plant are covered in detail in this seminar. The main focus of the seminar is on the performance evaluation of hydro-electric power plants. This includes scope of the performance evaluation, visual inspection, functional checks, measurements and tests. The error test on measuring instruments, operational tests on protective relays, vibration measurements, load rejection test, maximum power output test, unit efficiency test, methods of unit efficiency measurements, measurement of absolute discharge, measurement of net head, measurement of electrical power output, calculation of unit efficiency (discharge head method), calculation of weighted efficiency, and index test are covered in detail in this seminar. This seminar is also focused on the provisions to facilitate performance testing, provisions for measurement of pressure, water level, absolute discharge, relative discharge and electrical power. The seminar also covers in detail turnaround management including process, stages, measures, and benefits of turnaround management. The determination of the root cause of the problems, development of potential solutions, restructuring and recovery as well as actions required to prevent further problems are explained thoroughly in this seminar. This seminar is a MUST for anyone who is involved in operating, managing, inspecting, testing, maintaining or refurbishing hydroelectric power plants because it covers the life cycle assessment, performance evaluation, and turnaround management of hydroelectric power plants.
