Postgraduate Diploma in Economics and Operation of Power Plants: Combined Cycles and Cogeneration.

The economics and exploitation of power plants refers to the set of skills and knowledge necessary for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of power plants. In particular, combined cycles and cogeneration are specific technologies that are increasingly being used in the production of electrical energy.

Combined cycles are a power production technology that involves the combination of two different thermodynamic cycles: a gas cycle and a steam cycle. In these systems, combustion exhaust gases are used to generate steam, which is then used to generate additional electrical power. This allows for greater efficiency in the production of electrical energy than traditional combustion systems due to the recovery of more heat and the generation of additional energy. Cogeneration, on the other hand, is a technology that allows the simultaneous generation of electrical power and heat from a single fuel source. This system can be highly efficient and is widely used in industrial applications where electricity and heat need to be generated at the same time.

To ensure the profitability of these operations, it is important to understand the dynamics of the energy industry, including energy market prices, interest rates, and government policies related to energy production and distribution. In addition, power plant management involves aspects such as risk management, preventive maintenance, fault management, and implementation of energy efficiency strategies.

TECH the world's largest digital university has an academic program designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to understand the technical, economic and operational aspects related to the operation of power plants with combined cycle and cogeneration, as well as the aspects associated with projects in these areas.
