What will I learn from this course?
This course provides training on the essential elements of the Mk V turbine control system. The course will include instruction on the hardware and software components of the Mk V control system and its interface system (HMI). Alarm troubleshooting and LVDT calibration will be central topics of the program. Additionally, practical exercises on Mk V equipment will reinforce the daily lecture material.
Who should attend?
Qualified engineers and technicians who wish to gain an understanding of Mk V turbine control systems. This course is intended for industrial gas and steam turbine users and NOT for customers with aeroderivative applications.
Prerequisites
- Basic understanding of turbine equipment and its operation (gas or steam)
- Familiarity with control system basics
- Reasonable computer skills
- Instruction is given in English; therefore, a reasonable ability to read and understand spoken English is required.
