COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Control and Operation of Industrial Gas Turbines. It covers the gas turbine thermodynamic theory and principle of operations, construction, process parameters, speed pickups characteristics; the start-up/shutdown sequence, synchronizing, loading, unloading, shutdown, cool down and gas turbine operation; the control functions including fuel control valves, hydraulic systems, fuel forwarding/handling systems, generators and electricity; the performance of gas turbines, leading to the criteria; and the engine and vibration measurement.
Further, the course will also discuss the troubleshooting methods and failure causes and elements of condition monitoring; the effects of day-to-day operations; the necessary skills to successfully maintain; the gas turbine and its support equipment during all phases of operation from the engineering selection to the final maintenance evolutions; and the most common pitfalls in the plant.
