Introduction

The gas Turbine is a power plant that has found increasing service in past 40 years as a power generation plant and as a mechanical drives for other turbomachinery like pumps and compressors. Its compactness, low weight, and multiple fuel application make it a natural power plant for offshore platforms. The last 20 years has seen a large growth in Gas Turbine Technology, new coatings and new cooling schemes. This with the conjunction of increase in compressor pressure ratio has increased the gas turbine thermal efficiency from about 15% to over 45%.

The utilization of gas turbine exhausts gases, for steam generation or for heating applications, advances the gas turbine application and increases the combined cycle power plant efficiency up to 60%, making it as the obvious choice in comparison with other power plant options.

Pushing the gas turbine power plant to the limits, high compression ratio, and high firing temperature make it more susceptible to failures and required a very effective monitoring system plus a very effective and complicated control and protection systems.

Understanding the performance characteristics, steady and transient operation of GT is a must to achieve more availability and reliability of the plant. It requires deeper knowledge and understanding of the function of different components of the gas turbine plant, plus the auxiliary systems which responsible for lubrication, seals, and cooling to enable troubleshooting the GT better and preventing failures of gas turbines.

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
