•       Be able to explain start-up, synchronizing and loading procedures

•       Be able to troubleshoot, fault finding and configure sequencing

•       Be able to configure operating displays and Trip Historical display.

•       Be able to use the software tools that are used to troubleshoot alarms,

•       Edit the sequencing, configure the Inputs and outputs (both hardwired and networked)

•       Be able to calibrate Servo-Actuated Valve, LVDT’s and other device

•       Appreciate the principles of emissions control and the various methods of achieving this.

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.
