- Ge Speedtronic Mark VI Gas Turbine Controls
COURSE OVERVIEW
The 5-day operations and Maintenance course is designed for plant personnel involved in the daily operation and maintenance of either Mark V control systems, Mark VI or Mark Vie and HMI. The course will enable operators and technicians to configure HMI displays and confidently, manipulate HMI software tools as well as diagnose problems in Gas Turbine SPEEDTRONIC Control Systems. The course is designed to provide a solid background in turbine governing systems. Participants increase their skills in HMI features, configuration and troubleshooting.

5 DAYS

TCS-CT0102

PRE-REQUISITES
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.
COURSE OBJECTIVE
This course provides participants with practical hands-on training in operation and Maintenance of gas turbine power plants under normal and abnormal conditions. Participantslearn safe and efficient plant operation methods, plantstart-up, normal operation, plantshutdown, and dealing with typical problems that occur in gas turbine power plants,. The training is conducted using advanced real-time simulatorsthat simulate typical plant problems in a realistic environment for the participants to understand, analyse, troubleshoot and respond to the problems. Participants are required to deal with associated alarms, analyse and discuss the cause and the effects of the problem scenario and to take corrective actionsto restore the plant to normal conditions.
Simulation-based training is one of the most effective methods of training the operation and Maintenance personnel of industrial plants. Simulators allow plant personnel to observe the consequences of their actions without any direct impact on actual plant operations. Through simulation-based exercises,trainees canlearnhow to respond to emergencies and how individual actions and decisions affect entire processesin an environment that mirrors situations they would normally encounter in a plant or facility.
Each course is 5-Day duration using the respective simulation either Mark V, Mark VI or Mark Vie depending on the client Turbine Controller. A fully concise training manual will be provided will be provided for each delegate.
