Your Benefits ■ Increased expertise and productivity of your operating personnel ■ Lower operating costs ■ Avoidance of operating faults ■ Reduced outages ■ Lower maintenance costs The Task For the operating personnel at power plants, regular training for all conceivable situations and working procedures is an absolute must – including those who are "pros", who put their commitment and capabilities to the test many times every day. It is essential to constantly stay abreast of the latest technical developments, while continuing to maintain their level of know-how. This is the only way to make optimum use of the plant's existing resources and at the same time guarantee a high degree of availability. Our Solution The Siemens Power Academy is a "training camp for pros" at Siemens Energy. This is where the market leader in automation technology pools its specialist knowledge as a manufacturer of I&C systems backed by years of experience in the operation of power plants. In the Power Academy, handpicked specialists offer wideranging training programs for power plant managers, control room operators and operating personnel. But the focus here is not only on current equipment featuring the latest power plant technology. There are also refresher courses and training units with older I&C systems. The standard training programs are augmented by a multifaceted selection of individual courses for specific requirements. With sound training, operating faults can be reduced and unplanned maintenance measures and downtimes extensively avoided. Optimum use can be made of scheduled shutdowns, which are thus of shorter duration. Your power plant benefits doubly from this: with higher levels of availability and lower operating costs.
