About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) This Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) course presents advanced methodologies that implement demand response and energy conservation programs in light of the integration of new technologies, regulatory changes and the accelerated penetration of renewable energy resources. This VILT course provides examples and case studies from North American and European jurisdictions covering the operational flexibilities on the demand side including requirements for new building codes to achieve zero net energy. The course describes a public agency's goals and objectives for conserving and otherwise reducing energy consumption and managing its demand for energy. This course presents the demand response implemented for economics and system security such as system balancing and relieving transmission congestion, or for system adequacy. The course also presents the principal attributes of conservation programs and the associated success criteria. In a system with increased penetration of renewable resources, demand response provides flexibility to system operators, helping them to maintain the reliability and the security of supply. Demand response is presented as a competitive alternative to additional power sources, enhancing competition and liquidity in electricity markets. The unique characteristics are discussed from a local, consumer centric and also from a system perspective bringing to life the ever changing paradigm for delivery energy to customers. Interoperability aspects and standards are discussed, as well as the consumer centric paradigm of Transactive Energy with IOT enabled flexibilities at system level, distribution networks and microgrids. The VILT course introduces the blockchain as a new line of defense against cyber threats and its increasing application in P2P transactions and renewable certificates.

About this Training Course This is an advanced chemistry training course for power plant chemists and boiler engineers wishing to expand their knowledge and skills, and to become more effective in their day-to-day roles dealing with thermal power plant chemistry. This 5 full-day course will provide ample opportunity for robust technical discussion and expand on advanced concepts in thermal power plant cycle chemistry. It focuses only on the steam/water aspects of the thermal power cycle. This course is a MUST for all power plant chemists and boiler engineers. It is also beneficial for anyone involved in power plant operation and maintenance because it provides guidelines and rules for improving power plant performance and reliability. Training Objectives Gain a significant increase in understanding of cycle chemistry in steam power plants and the inter-relationships between plant operation, cycle chemistry and potential failure modes due to corrosion and/or deposition throughout the cycle Gain a thorough understanding of all causes of corrosion in a steam power plant and all the methods used to reduce the corrosion rate in a steam power plant Become better equipped to effectively manage the corrosion and deposition risks in a thermal power plant Learn how to reduce failure rate in boilers and steam power plants and improve plant performance Understand condensate polishing and treatment of condensate return to industrial boilers Discover the causes of boiler water contamination and treatment programs Learn about layup and offline corrosion protection Understand water chemistry limits to prevent steam contamination by carryover Learn about boiler water chemistry guidelines and control of steam chemistry Understand high-purity make-up treatment methods Perform demineralizer calculations Perform system design calculations Gain a thorough understanding of mixed bed polishing and reverse osmosis Target Audience Power Plant Chemists Boiler Engineers Engineers involved in the operation and maintenance of power plants Managers Technicians Maintenance personnel Other technical individuals (this seminar is suitable for individuals who do not have a background in chemical engineering) Course Level Advanced Training Methods Your specialist course leader relies on a highly interactive training method to enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all participants gain a complete understanding of all topics covered. The training environment is highly stimulating, challenging, and effective because the participants will learn by case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught to their own organization. Each delegate will receive a copy of the following materials written by the instructor: 'POWER GENERATION HANDBOOK' second edition, published by McGraw-Hill in 2012 in New York (800 pages) Water Chemistry for Thermal Power Plant Chemists and Boiler Engineers Manual (650 pages) Trainer Your specialist course leader has more than 32 years of practical engineering experience with Ontario Power Generation (OPG), one of the largest electric utility in North America.
