One Year Post-Graduate Diploma Course in Power  (PGDC)

Jindal Institute of Power Technology (JIPT) is conducting a one-year post-graduate diploma course in Power since 2010. The main aim of the courses is to create a pool of technically trained manpower readily available for recruitment in Power Utilities and allied Industries. This course is mainly covering thermal power engineering by following the syllabus of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA). JIPT is embedding modules of other sources of energy to make students thorough in Power and energy sector. Successful completion of this course statutorily authorizes trainees to undertake the jobs in thermal power plant of capacity more than 100 MW.

There has been an overwhelming response for this course. So far students of eleven batches has successfully completed this course and are well placed in leading power companies through campus selection. The program is having an exceptionally encouraging response and many Power Companies recruited industry-ready trained manpower through our campus recruitment’s over the years to comply with the regulations. The designed curriculum lays the foundation for a scientific conceptualization and analytical understanding of the whole gamut of the power industry from concept to commissioning and successful operation management. This course is equally beneficial both for fresher and as well as for practicing engineers.

The course covers operation and maintenance of Power Plants viz., Thermal including Gas, Solar, Wind, Biomass etc., with exposure to on-job training for substantiation of Operational and Maintenance practices and concepts. The program also satisfies the requirements of on-going and emerging power sector needs. The trained personnel shall develop the competence of O&M and Commissioning principles of plants.

PGDC & PDC Module

250/600 MW Sub- Critical PFC Unit The Institute has state-of-the-art, high fidelity, dynamic, full-scope replica Simulators of 250 MW & 600 MW generating units. Routine Plant starts up / shut down operations, cold-warm-hot startups, coasting down from full load to a lower load, handling plant emergencies and engineering analysis and some functional/maintenance aspects of major plant equipment are the salient features of the installed simulator. A Simulator is widely used for the training of Operators/Engineers who gain experience quickly in the normal, abnormal, and emergency operation of a Power Plant. After two weeks of training, the Engineer/Operator is capable to work in the control room and can also handle emergencies.

SCHEME TRACING

JIPT has published Scheme Tracing book with more than 100 schemes.
Scheme Tracing is a self-taught and process of tracing  of piping connections, pumps, Meters, Motors, valves, actuators, steam path, water circuit, gas path, lubrication circuits, controllers, Raw Coal flow and Ash Disposal path etc.
This is unique to JIPT as the Institute is located inside premises of 4x 250MW and 4x 600MW, O.P. Jindal Super Thermal Power Plant and students can visit the plant anytime they desire with necessary precaution and permission. This gives the student added advantage compared to follow peers of other Thermal Power Training Institutes in India which do not have their own power plant or institute are located outside the power station.
Once Scheme Tracing is completed diligently, students are totally aware of locations and working of all equipment and numerous auxiliaries of the Thermal Power Plant of Jindal Power Limited. Other power stations of various capacities are no different from Jindal Power Limited.

ROTATION ON JOB OPERATION

To get the real-life feeling of Power Plant Operation, students are placed to undergo four weeks in-plant training in shifts synchronizing with the shift timing working of Jindal Power Limited. Students are to observe various parameters of different equipment/ auxiliaries under operation and record them in the printed data book (250 & 600MW) which will be provided to the trainees/students free of cost. This is unique for JIPT. Trainees are made to understand the technicalities by working in shifts. Students will be allowed to visit Central Control Room (CCR), highly restricted area, in small batches with a guide to get the real-life feeling of Power Plant Central Control Room.

ROTATION ON JOB MAINTENANCE

To get the real-life feeling of Power Plant Maintenance, students of JIPT are to undergo four weeks Power Plant Maintenance training in general shift for understanding / observing the complexities of tools and tackles, special tools and their use and the methodology of equipment maintenance. Students are allowed to interact with the technical personal engaged for maintenance of equipment without hampering work. Students are to utilize the opportunities when maintenance of particular equipment is undertaken which may not be in G-shits. As the Institute is inside the Power Plant, students of JIPT have the opportunity. which is not possible in any other Power Training Institute.

Training Programmes for Power Personnel

Institute offers training programmes on various areas of Power Plant Operation and Maintenance, which are flexible and can be modified as per actual requirement of Power Plant Personnel.

Non Executive

JIPT has very good facility for classroom training of different categories of Apprenticeship starting from workmen category to skilled workmen and engineers experienced or fresher. JIPT has conducted both classroom training and in plants training for the land sellers, who are under qualified and were unable to receive lecture in technical language. We have designed the training Programme in vernacular language and the same was delivered by our faculty members and it was a grand success. The training programme was called UTTHAN and it has bagged National and International Awards and it has been acclaimed by Govt. of India and International bodies for such Programme being introduced and successfully conducted by JPL/JIPT. JIPT provides basic training in vernacular language to under qualified local persons who can easily grasp the intricacies of power plant equipment and their operational needs and maintenance aspects very easily.

Apart from classroom training, candidates under apprentice are taken around the power station to make them acquaint with various equipment and their operational needs. Thus they get exposed to the operating plants and can understand, identify equipment easily.

JIPT can design need based training programme for the various categories of persons from grass root level to skilled technicians and deliver them successfully.
