Gas Turbines: Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting

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 equipment standards, 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.
