Course Overview
Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how power plant dynamic performance is controlled. In energy operations the cost of getting dynamic performance wrong is measured in downtime, and sometimes in lives. The programme converts the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The professional literature on power plant dynamic performance converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Participants finish able to explain this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with dynamic performance. A common pattern is strong design of power plant dynamic performance paired with weak follow-through. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of dynamic performance is examined, not just described. The programme closes with an action plan for the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability that each participant writes for their own organisation.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Design permit and isolation controls covering the work involved in dynamic performance.
Sequence improvements to power plant dynamic performance so that each step makes the next one easier.
Assess the technical and commercial risk attaching to dynamic performance across the asset life cycle.
Anticipate the objections that power plant dynamic performance will attract internally and answer them in advance.
Compare the organisation's handling of dynamic performance with recognised practice, and close the material gaps.
Assess power plant dynamic performance against the emissions and efficiency targets the organisation has committed to.

Course Modules
Power plant dynamic performance: competence, certification and handover
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Who answers for power plant dynamic performance, and to whom
- Estimate the resource power plant dynamic performance requires to run as designed.
- Map the handovers in dynamic performance between functions and secure them.
- Review the instrumentation on power plant dynamic performance for coverage gaps.
- Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on dynamic performance.
Session 2Building the investment case for dynamic performance that finance will accept
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to power plant dynamic performance will be introduced.
- Model the economics of dynamic performance at low, base and high price cases.
- Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios power plant dynamic performance can create.
- Estimate the production loss associated with unplanned downtime of dynamic performance.
Dynamic performance: instrumentation, data and condition monitoring
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Reading condition data on dynamic performance before failure, not after
- Name a single owner for each element of power plant dynamic performance.
- Identify the failure modes of dynamic performance with the highest consequence.
- Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to power plant dynamic performance.
- Test the procedure for dynamic performance against a realistic scenario.
Session 2What the last incident involving dynamic performance should have taught us
- Establish the boundary of power plant dynamic performance and record what sits outside it.
- Confirm that lessons from dynamic performance are shared beyond the team that learned them.
- Set the trigger for a life-extension versus replacement study on power plant dynamic performance.
- Verify isolation points for dynamic performance are proven and documented.
Dynamic performance: technical fundamentals and operating envelope
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1What to measure in dynamic performance and what to ignore
- Confirm the inspection interval for power plant dynamic performance is based on condition, not habit.
- Plan the dynamic performance scope so it fits the available shutdown window.
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to power plant dynamic performance.
- Establish what evidence demonstrates dynamic performance is under control.
Session 2The operating limits on power plant dynamic performance and what happens beyond them
- Identify where judgement in power plant dynamic performance is legitimate and where it is not.
- Prepare the response for the most likely failure in dynamic performance.
- Define the safe operating envelope for power plant dynamic performance and how deviations are detected.
- Set escalation thresholds for dynamic performance that work out of hours.
Dynamic performance: environmental obligation and emissions
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Holding contractors on dynamic performance to the standard you hold yourself
- Build the internal briefing that explains power plant dynamic performance to those affected.
- Assess the emissions and discharge attributable to dynamic performance.
- Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of power plant dynamic performance current.

Session 2Keeping dynamic performance alive after the initial push
- Check that the permit regime covering power plant dynamic performance matches the actual hazard.
- Compare the cost of dynamic performance with the cost of its absence.
- Establish the alarm philosophy applying to power plant dynamic performance and remove nuisance alarms.
- Collect evidence on the present handling of dynamic performance before proposing changes.
