COURSE OVERVIEW

This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of compressor control and protection. It covers the various types of compressors and their functions; the characteristics of surge including its consequences; the key aspects of compressor control and anti-surge protection and preventions; and the various applications of advanced compressor control and how to control using loop decoupling.
The course will also discuss the effects of operating conditions and improves knowledge on surge curve plotting methods; the turbine control objectives and principles according to actuator speed kW droop control; and the turbine system availability objectives and the correct level of redundancy.
During this interactive course, participants will learn to apply several integrated turbine and compressor control approaches as well as the technology updates and distinguish the functions of various control and protection devices in relation to internal relief value, internal motor temperature sensors and crankcase heaters.
