Gas Turbine
Operations
Aim - This course is designed to enable engineers, supervisors,
operations and maintenance personnel to safely operate GE designed
heavy duty gas turbine units. This course develops a background
in gas turbine operation that will enable participants to properly
analyse operating problems and take the necessary corrective
action.
Emphasis is placed on the operator’s responsibilities
with regard to auxiliary systems, operational data taking, and
data evaluation. Operators are instructed in how to interpret
fault annunciation and how to determine if the annunciated fault
can be remedied by operator action or by the assistance of instrumentation
and/or maintenance personnel. The course focuses on the starting,
loading, and specific operator checks of the various turbine
support and auxiliary systems to ensure safe and reliable operation
of the gas turbine unit. Also covered is the effect of operation
on major mechanical maintenance.
