AEGIS Loss Control is pleased to announce its latest webinar, Considerations for Extended Power Generation Station Operation, which will be held on Wednesday, December 4, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm EST.
The rise of renewable energy sources has caused many plant owners to contemplate decommissioning traditional power generation facilities that are nearing the end of their expected design life. However, the intermittent nature of wind and solar power often does not align with peak electricity demand. To ensure a stable power grid, plant owners are now being encouraged to extend the operational life of their facilities. We invite you to join us for our upcoming webinar where we will review considerations for extending power generation station operation.
Who Should Attend
Risk management and power plant employees, as well as those engaged in the renovation, modernization and life extension efforts of conventional thermal power plants, would benefit from attending this critical and insightful webinar on the considerations for extended power generation station operation.
What is Covered
This webinar will focus on considerations necessary for extending operations of traditional power generation facilities beyond the expected 30-year design life to ensure a stable power grid. This extension requires diligent maintenance and careful monitoring of equipment whose longevity varies based on its design and usage. Participants will discuss practical measures such as equipment overhaul or replacement, improved inspection, non-destructive testing, sample testing, and other considerations with a concentration on combustion turbine technology.
About the Presenter
Tom Freeman is a graduate of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana, with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. He began his career at Pratt & Whitney in South Florida in 1985 working on X-planes, particularly on hypersonic propulsion. In 1999, Tom relocated to Greenville, South Carolina, to join GE Energy, where he served as the technical leader for Systems Engineering Performance, developing the gas turbine thermodynamic simulations. Pursuing his passion for customer relationships, Tom moved to Atlanta in 2003, where he was the Gas Turbine Leader for Services Engineering, leading a team of over 100 engineers in providing technical solutions supporting the entire GE heavy-duty gas turbine fleet. Here, he began to travel rather extensively to meet with customers. In 2013, he was named Sales Director for Engineered Solutions in North America, providing the technical expertise for selling many innovative solutions, including the Advanced Gas Path (AGP). Tom joined Multi-Year Agreements in 2016 to create a new Product Line (Solutions) team to target innovation in blending market, mission, and model (technology) with creative commercial solutions.
