Introduction
Gas turbines became widely adopted and many thousands of sets are now installed worldwide. The development of gas turbines from the theoretical stage to its present worldwide adoption has three main inputs. These may include:
- The practical and theoretical work of established steam turbines manufacturers wishing to expand into the gas turbine field.
- Intensive and aerodynamic work on compressors and turbines. By aero-engine manufacturers, arising particularly from the development of aero-engine superchargers
- Metallurgical developments, which provided alloys capable of withstanding the continuous high temperatures and stress to which the turbine blades are subjected.
Objectives
- Describe the different stages involved in the operation of a gas turbine cycle
- Operate and maintain the air inlet, the filtration system, the pulse cleaning system and the evaporative cooler
- Demonstrate an understanding of the compressor section to include the rotor, variable guide vanes and compressor blading
- Explain the construction and operation of the turbine section, including rotor, buckets, nozzles and bearings
- Use the relevant turbine control terms to operate and control protection systems
- Outline the construction and operation of the liquid and gas fuel control systems, gas control valves and the lube oil system, essential to the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of a gas turbine
- Describe the construction and the theory behind the operation of a generator, including the starting system, the turning gear, the commutated inverter and the cooling methods
- Analyze the guidelines for the efficient operation of gas turbine system and its components
- Review the elements for the improvement of performance and efficiency of gas turbine system
- Compare and contrast optimal improvement techniques for a given industrial application
- Estimate the degree of deterioration of gas turbine system due to corrosion and fouling
- Indicate the ways to remedy for the problems in everyday operations using best practices
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
Training Methodology
The course will be conducted along with workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive worked examples and with an active contribution by all delegates during workshops and discussions and teamwork. Real-life examples will be selected to illustrate the procedure for control of good performance of gas turbines. The emphasis will be on the explanation of technical phenomena and providing answers to problems that are encountered in everyday industrial practice. There will be ample opportunities for problem solving and workshops with active open discussion and sharing professional experiences on the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting. All course materials will be provided.
Who Should Attend?
This course is intended for all gas turbine operation personnel and maintenance personnel, including gas turbine operators, gas turbine maintenance technicians, and controls technicians. It will also be beneficial for professionals managing and supervising personnel involved in the operation and maintenance of gas turbines.
