The aim of course is that the O & M team of a Cogeneration Power Plant knows the best techniques in power plant operation. The orientation of the course is eminently practical, with 30% dedicated to the most theoretical part and 70% practical part dedicated to the development of formats, checklists, procedures preparation and comprehensive analysis of many examples of reports, audits, ranges, etc..

While the theoretical information is available in book format, the formats and examples used during the course are provided in electronic format (Word and Excel) to facilitate the possible implementation and modification according to the real needs of plants.
