Steam Electrical Generator Trainer

Function of Steam Electrical Generator Trainer

The Steam Power generation Thermodynamics Trainer is purpose designed and built for hands-on education and training on topics related to steam generation, power generation and control. Steam Electrical Generator Trainer demonstrates the conversion of stored chemical energy to electricity the primary method of generating electricity used today. The Steam Electrical Generator Trainer uses a natural gas boiler to generate steam which is then expanded in a steam turbine, converting the heat energy of the steam into electrical energy via the turbo-generator.

Steam Electrical Generator Trainer is mounted complete on a single skid allowing for compact installation. Industrial type process components, process measurement and control devices have been used throughout the trainer to provide the student with a realistic training experience using equipment common to industry. Steam Electrical Generator Trainer is a real system that generates electricity from a natural gas fuel on a small scale. In every other respect the system is designed, operated, controlled, and maintained in the same way as the full-scale industrial electrical generating facilities.
