1. Professional introduction of thermal power plant
The major of thermal power plant is to train high-quality and skilled professionals who can meet the first-line needs of thermal power plant such as operation, maintenance and installation of thermal power equipment. Students should master basic theoretical knowledge and professional knowledge, possess professional ability and skills to engage in practical work in this field, and have good professional ethics and dedication. Students in this major mainly study the basic abilities and skills of operation, maintenance, installation and commissioning of thermal power equipment, as well as the preliminary design and calculation of thermal equipment and systems, the basic technical and economic analysis of thermal systems, and the basic abilities of enterprise safety and economic management.
2. Employment Direction of Thermal Power Plant
Graduates of this major can work in large and medium-sized thermal power plants, nuclear power plants, power construction enterprises, power repair enterprises, equipment manufacturers, industrial and mining enterprises own power plants and related experimental institutes, engaged in the operation, maintenance and installation of thermal power equipment in power plants.
3. Employment prospects of thermal power plants
According to the Eleventh Five-Year Plan for Electric Power Development, China's electric power industry is expected to add 215 million to 245 million kilowatts of new installed capacity in the next five years. From the point of view of optimizing energy structure, hydropower will be developed in an orderly manner, with emphasis on accelerating the construction of nuclear power and natural gas. According to the plan, by the end of the 11th Five-Year Plan, China will have 477.3 million to 503.3 million kilowatts of thermal power installed.
In the newly installed capacity, the thermal power unit is still more than 80%, and there are a large number of heating units, which opens up a broad prospect for thermal power plant specialty. With the rapid development of electric power industry, the demand for high-tech talents is more urgent. The specialty of thermal power plant has a direct relationship with thermal power plant. The specialty features are prominent, and the employment situation in recent years is good. However, due to the narrow employment area, the situation of power supply construction has a great impact on students'employment.
In 2013, the number of graduates of thermal power plant is 2000-2500, including 87% males and 13% females. In 2013, the enrollment ratio of males and females in thermal power plant is 4% in liberal arts, 95% in science and 1% in liberal arts. In recent years, the employment rate of thermal power plant is 211 (95% - 100%), 2012 (90% - 95%) and 2013 (85% - 90%).
