Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate, inspect and monitor heat recovery steam generator(HRSG) hot gas control systems.HRSGs are used to recover heat from hot gasstreams which is then supplied to a steam turbine to generate additional electric power. The hot gas control system is used to operate the internal gas returnand bypasssystem in the HRSG.Competency in this unit requires the ability to plan work, operate HRSG plant, test HRSG plant, analyse HRSG plant faults, monitor and inspect HRSG plant, and complete all documentation. Individuals will, in general, work under supervision, in a power generation facility as an operator.Power generation plant operators are trained and authorised to isolate, prepare plant and issue permits to work.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
