Gas/Steam Turbine Mark VI (with HMI) Advanced

What will I learn from this course?

This course provides advanced knowledge of the Mark VI control to students already familiar with fundamentals from a prior Mark VI course. Software modification and advanced functions are the main focus of the course. Generating signals, customizing software, adding timers and counters are just some of the topics included. Also included are advanced software and hardware troubleshooting labs of the Mark VI.

Who should attend?

Engineers, technicians, and other qualified personnel concerned with advanced maintenance and troubleshooting of heavy-duty and aeroderivative gas turbines and Balance of Plant systems using the Mark VI control. This course is intended for industrial gas and steam turbine users and NOT for customers with aeroderivative applications.

Prerequisites

• Previously attended the Mark VI Maintenance Course. Review of basic Mark VI functions will be limited.
• Reasonable computer skills (an ability to navigate the interface operating system).
• Instruction is given in English; therefore, a reasonable ability to read and understand spoken English is required.

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.
