The 5-day operations and Maintenance course is designed for plant personnel involved in the daily operation and maintenance of Mark VI 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 System.  The course is designed to provide a solid background in turbine governing systems.  Participants increase their skills in HMI features, configuration, and troubleshooting.

The use of a Gas Turbine simulator for the Mark VI will allow students to view various operational problems and introduce the concepts of configuration, troubleshooting and fault finding. For the Mark VI control system training, the simulation is software based and runs with the use of a “key” Dongle and will allow each student to work individually.

The training is conducted using advanced real-time simulators that 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 actions to restore the plant to normal conditions.

The course is 5-Day in duration using the respective simulation for Mark VI. A fully concise training manual will be provided will be provided for each delegate
