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.
