Training and further training of operating personnel as a joint task of the power plant operators

摘要

In the 50s, power plant operators were faced with the task of embarking on new ways of training their operating staff. Developments affecting the engineering, size and also the I&C of power plants demanded systematic, professional training. The relevant committees of the VGB Association elaborated new professional concepts and guidelines fur training courses. A joint organization, KRAFTWERKSSCHULE E.V., was founded to organize training. KWS understands itself as a service provider of power plant operators for the education and further training of their operating staff. It makes use of the present development in the member companies as a chance and challenge in order to newly define itself. KWS thus serves above all the aim of ascertaining a high educational level, the relief of power plants from educational tasks and the reduction of costs in the companies.
