This course is ideal for anyone involved in or interested in the implementation and optimization of hydrogen and ammonia as fuels in combined cycle power plants, providing in-depth knowledge of their applications, benefits, and challenges.

This training seminar will delve into not only the general theory but also the practical considerations of using hydrogen and ammonia as a fuel in a modern Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP). Although the impact of hydrogen on all plant systems is addressed, there is a special emphasis on the HRSG and associated steam cycle as this is often given less consideration than the GT for example. Another focus will be to identify the graduated approaches for bringing hydrogen on-stream at a plant as supplies become more available and costs drop. This includes looking at scenarios for on-site storage requirements, firing options (fuel blends, duct burners and/or GT) and use of ammonia as alternative storage and fuel medium. The course is for plant operations management and technical staff who are looking to gain an understanding of the implications of integrating the burning of hydrogen in the CCPP.
