Course Overview
This course presents both the fundamental basics and up to date
technology for the operation and maintenance of gas
turbines. For turbines to operate efficiently, they require good
load control, efficient safety devices, and proper maintenance
program. The course presents an overview of gas turbines,
fundamentals of thermodynamics, mechanical equipmentstandards, and
gas turbine components. The course also covers bearings and seals,
fuels and fuel supply systems, control
system, and instrumentation. Gas turbine operation and
maintenance and troubleshooting will be also presented. By the
end of the course the participants will be updated with the
up-to-date technology for the operation, maintenance, and
troubleshooting of gas turbines.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course the participants will be able to
Identify and learn about technology and relative merits of gas
turbine power plants.
Analyze thermodynamically the gas power plant cycles.
Learn and make performance analysis for the gas turbine main
components.
Analyze the variables, which affect the performance parameters
such as power, efficiency, and heat rate. Learn about different
maintenance activities on gas turbine.
Learn about testing, operation, monitoring, and troubleshooting
of gas turbines.
Learn about new technologies gas turbine inspection and
monitoring.
Apply troubleshooting techniques to gas turbine.
