Combined Cycle Plant Training and Consulting Services

Fossil Consulting Services, Inc. (FCS) supports the mission of power facilities with fully customized combined cycle plant training, combining gas turbine instruction with steam turbine fundamentals to give plant teams the complete picture of how their systems operate together. By pairing training with on-site consulting and real-world insight from instructors who have worked as plant operators, FCS provides a practical, high-value approach that helps teams perform with confidence.

Our combined cycle power plant training services are designed for plants that want a trusted partner who can meet them where they are. Whether your team is onboarding new personnel, updating documentation, or preparing for new equipment, FCS provides structured, instructor-led training programs that reflect your plant’s specific systems and operational expectations.

Comprehensive Combined Cycle Training Built Around Your Plant

Combined cycle facilities present unique learning requirements because employees must understand how the gas turbine’s exhaust heat supports steam production, how the heat recovery steam generator responds under load changes, and how each system interacts across the entire operating envelope. FCS training covers these relationships step-by-step, with coursework that integrates theory and practical insights.

Our combined plant training curriculum includes all key topics:

  • Gas turbine operating principles, auxiliaries, and system interactions.
  • Steam turbine fundamentals, controls, and protection systems.
  • HRSG operation, water chemistry awareness, and thermal considerations.
  • Safety considerations, regulatory requirements, and best practices.
  • Integrated plant operation scenarios that demonstrate how the combined cycle responds as one system.

Because no two facilities operate the same way, we develop the program around your equipment, needs, operational objectives, and staff’s skill levels. Our instructors also bring the benefit of decades of hands-on plant experience, offering perspectives that go far beyond theory.

Combined Cycle Plant Consulting With Practical Support

FCS provides combined cycle plant training and consulting services that help facilities address day-to-day challenges, documentation needs, and long-term planning. Our team actively evaluates system conditions and works directly with plant personnel to develop solutions that fit your budget and timeline.

Plant teams rely on FCS for:

  • Fully customized operating procedures and guides that reflect the plant’s exact equipment.
  • Visual documentation using photos from the client’s facility.
  • Recommendations based on industry best practices, regulatory requirements, and real operational knowledge.
  • Support that strengthens both new and seasoned staff.
  • Objective guidance that aligns with current energy sector expectations.

Because the combined cycle environment demands clarity and consistency, FCS operating guides are written clearly and with intent, so any trained staff member can follow them, creating continuity even in high-stress situations.
