Steam Turbine Advanced Operation - D11 Turbines

This course is designed to enhance GE D11 Steam Turbine-Generator operation skills. The course provides a detailed overview of D11 turbine operating sequences and control and protection functions. The course builds upon student's operational skills. Develops a background in Steam Turbine-Generator (ST-GN) operation that enables participants to properly analyze operating problems and take the necessary corrective action. This course will focus on the ST-GN control and protection and will include discussions on auxiliary support systems. Please refer to the Agenda noted below.

We will review the entire Alarm List (over 400) for the most current D11 control specification to date as well as full analysis of all possible unit Trips.

The course consists of classroom lectures and a visit to the Steam Turbine manufacturing and assembly areas at our facility in Schenectady New York, USA.

Engineers, operations, maintenance technicians, administrative personnel and those in affiliated industries who have a background in ST-GN operations and wish to gain further understanding of the operation of GE D-11 Steam Turbine.
