The simulator activities associated with the course are a cloud solution that learners will access via a web browser. Upon completion of this course, learners will be equipped with the understanding and knowledge to perform their work with an essential level of proficiency regarding safe, efficient, and effective energy plant operation. The skills obtained will also help improve safety aspects of the energy industry and supports Canada’s transition to a low carbon economy. Assessments will take place through individual simulation lab work, and learners must receive a passing mark to obtain the Microcredential.
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
The Thermal Power Plant Simulation Proficiency microcredential is a paradigm shift in the power industry, enhancing safety, sustainability, cost-efficiency, and the environment. Learners and engineers will gain unprecedented opportunities to master emergency response, optimize workflows, and boost plant efficiency.
Power engineers and process operators operate and maintain reactors, turbines, boilers, generators, stationary engines, and auxiliary equipment to generate electrical power and to provide heat, light, refrigeration, and other utility services for commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings, and other work sites.
