Course Objectives

To enable an engineer to be fully conversant with all aspects of the MK V Control System and would have significantly increased confidence/experience in the areas of troubleshooting/fault finding.

Course Description

The MK V Speedtronic Control System is a complex and multi-faceted system. This course provides a detailed examination of all the main aspects of the MK V Control System. This will include MK V Speedtronic Hardware, Software and a detailed evaluation of Control System Theory/Sequencing. The student will also benefit from a detailed description of troubleshooting techniques and will be allowed to practice these skills with a variety of simulated faults on a Speedtronic Gas Turbine Simulator.

Who Should Attend

This is an essential course for those engineers/technicians involved with the troubleshooting of Gas Turbine faults using a MK V Speedtronic Control System.  Gas Turbine operators who are looking to advance their career potential would find the course useful and would those Team Leader/Shift Supervisors wishing to increase their knowledge of the MK V Speedtronic Control system.

Pre-Requisites

All Attendees should have a sound power generation background and experience on MK V.

Course Outcome

At the end of this course you will be able to maintain a gas turbine using a MK V Control System.
