This course is designed to enhance GE F-class gas turbine-generator operation skills. The course provides a detailed overview of F-class turbine operating sequences and control and protection functions. The course builds upon student's operational skills. Develops a background in gas turbine-generator operation that enables participants to properly analyze operating problems and take the necessary corrective action.
This course will focus on the gas turbine and generator control and protection and does not include discussions on auxiliary support systems. Please refer to the Agenda noted below.
Participants may wish to bring their unit specific "Control Specification" with them to facilitate correlating classroom discussions with specific unit parameters.
The course consists of classroom lectures and a visit to the gas turbine manufacturing and assembly areas at our facility in Greenville, South Carolina USA.
Who should attend?
Engineers, operations, maintenance technicians, administrative personnel and those in affiliated industries who have a background in GT operations and wish to gain further understanding of the operation of GE heavy duty gas turbines.
Prerequisites
Prior gas turbine operating experience or completion of the GE "Fundamentals of Gas Turbine Operations" course.
Familiarity with the basic gas turbine operation and control systems.
Instruction is given in English; therefore, a reasonable ability to read and understand spoken English is required.
