LNG Powerplant course, Gas fired power plant training, electrical engineers Course

This course provides electrical engineers with comprehensive knowledge of Gas Fired Turbine Power Plants, focusing on electrical design, control systems, protection schemes, power evacuation, instrumentation, and maintenance. Engineers learn how gas turbines convert natural gas or LNG into electricity through safe and efficient operational procedures. The program supports skill assessment, hands-on training, and professional certification.

Why Skill Assessment?

Before training, each engineer undergoes a technical skill assessment to identify their strengths and skill gaps in:

  • Power plant electrical systems

  • Control & protection technologies

  • Turbine-generator operation

  • Maintenance & testing procedures

  • Safety, codes, and compliance

Based on the results, targeted training is provided. Upon completion, engineers receive skill certification and project experience documentation to strengthen employment opportunities in the power industry.
