GENERAL TECHNICAL COURSE
OF COGENERATION PLANTS

This course has purely technical orientation and it seeks to deepen the knowledge of each of the systems and equipment that make up a cogeneration plant. It tries to provide an overview of all aspects that affect a cogeneration plant, addressing matters related to the design, operation, maintenance and such installations management. The program avoids going into overly theoretical concepts, far from what a technician dedicated to cogeneration plants need.
