What will I learn from this course?
This course offers a firm understanding of the basic operations
of all types of GE heavy duty gas turbines.
The course is designed for those persons with no or limited knowledge
of gas turbines.
The objective of this course is to give participants an understanding

Emphasis is placed on the following areas:
- Basic gas turbine operating cycle
- Overview of gas turbine major components and equipment arrangements
and how these relate to overall operation and performance
- Fundamentals of gas turbine control and protection: start-up,
speed, load, shutdown and temperature
- Operating parameters and control / protection features
of the various turbine support systems such as the lubricating
oil, hydraulic, variable inlet guide vanes, starting means
and fuels
- Operating factors and considerations that affect maintenance
intervals
This course consists of classroom lectures and visits to the
