Verify that improvements to thermal and gas power station management have held six months after they were introduced.
Maintenance and Management of Thermal and Gas Power Stations
Build a working method for thermal and gas power station management that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in thermal and gas power station management — it punishes it. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on station management both accrue interest. The most reliable predictor of sound the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The course gives participants a defensible structure for thermal and gas power station management and the judgement to adapt it. Participants test their assumptions about the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations against scenarios designed to break weak ones. It is written for people who have to make station management work with the resources they already have. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about thermal and gas power station management. Buying a tool rarely fixes station management; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda that would make a visible difference.
