Power plant shutdown, much like startup, is a complicated task that needs planning and preparation from plant operators. The Preparing for Power Plant Shutdown training course focuses on the operating procedures and equipment knowledge needed for a safe and effective shutdown. It describes the basic tasks that must be performed on plant equipment before a shutdown. This course focuses on:

• Defining power plant shutdowns
• Preparing the boiler for shutdown
• Reducing load on the turbine/generator

This online course is part of the Unit Startup and Shutdown training series.
