Course Objectives

To understand the operations of the control system.

Course Description

This course covers the operations of a Gas Turbine as controlled by a  Sentinel or LA-RR1 PLC Control System. The course will introduce the student to the Major Components of a Gas Turbine and associated systems. Start-up and shutdown sequences along with loading/unloading operations will be discussed for a GE Gas Turbine. The use of a PLC system will allow the students to view and understand the major operating displays and control parameters. Participants will be given plenty of opportunity to raise and discuss operational problems and issues.

Who Should Attend

This is an excellent course for plant operators/technicians responsible for the day-to-day operations of a Gas Turbine. The course will also benefit maintenance personnel who are involved in the troubleshooting of operational problems. Shift supervisors and Team Leaders will also find the course beneficial.

Pre-Requisites

All Attendees should have a sound power generation background.

Course Outcome

At the end of this course you will be able to operate a Gas Turbines using Sentinel or LA-RR1 Control system.
