You will learn how to structure the auxiliary systems of combined cycle plants and you will know how to select the ideal operating level based on the different types of existing combined cycle plants"

Once the knowledge of conventional thermal power plants and solar generation has been acquired, we are in a position to address the operation of combined cycle power plants. Therefore, this TECH program studies in detail the technology used in this type of power plants, the influence of the different variables in this type of production and the future trends in its development and evolution.

On the one hand, TECH will establish the influence of international environmental agreements and how they affect the electricity generation activity. On the other hand, the thermodynamic processes of this type of power plants and how to improve their efficiency and productivity will be analyzed.

Likewise, all the necessary knowledge will be acquired to be able to work, operate and design the gas turbines that are part of this type of power plants, paying special attention to the recovery boilers that are used, breaking down their components, the performance of the equipment that make them up and the performance that can be obtained.

In addition, a fundamental part of this type of power plant is the steam turbine used, so TECH will focus on its operation and performance. In turn, it breaks down the different types of combined cycle power plants that exist and their associated configurations. Finally, the student will learn to analyze the design, productivity and functionality of a combined cycle power plant with hybridization using solar technology.

In addition, as it is a 100% online postgraduate certificate, it provides the student with the ease of being able to take it comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality in line with the current times with all the guarantees to position the professional in a highly demanded area in continuous change, in line with the SDGs promoted by the UN.
