Gas/Steam Turbine Mark VI Millennium Panel

This course introduces engineers and technicians to the GE Millennium Panel turbine control. Presentations will cover the various control systems’ hardware and software, including fuel control valve interface and variable bleed/geometry calibration. Exercises provide training on LogicMaster and Toolbox software in order to troubleshoot the application and turbine-based alarms. Millennium Panel operator interface (HMI) screen navigation, communication and signal tracing are also covered. This course is specific to LM turbine customers with Millennium panels, which include both Mark VI and 90/70 Control Systems.

---

Who should attend?

Qualified engineers and technicians who wish to gain an understanding of the Millennium Panel Control system. This course is intended for industrial gas and steam turbine users and NOT for customers with aeroderivative applications.

---

Prerequisites

Electrical experience / education and familiarity with Windows. Reasonable computer skills Instruction is given in English; therefore, a reasonable ability to read and understand spoken English is required.
Participants are encouraged to research their turbine- equipment and documentation to verify they have a Millennium Panel Control System, and to bring a copy of their system elementary drawing with them to class.

Course Requirements and Attire

The appropriate dress for this course is casual. Please note that the GE Energy Learning Center is a place of business - no tank tops or shirts with inappropriate verbage or signs.

Effective March 1, 2011, the GE Energy Learning Center will become a tobacco-free campus and smoking will be prohibited in all areas of the property, including outdoor space owned by GE. This means that all employees, as well as customers, contractors and visitors will be prohibited from using tobacco products anywhere on our campuses, including in motor vehicles. If an individual wishes to use tobacco products he/she needs to leave the campus in order to smoke or to use smokeless tobacco. Leaving campus is only acceptable during regularly scheduled lunch breaks. Leaving the property during shorter class breaks will not provide adequate time to return to class. Persons who do not comply will be asked to leave the campus.
