Instruction is designed so technical personnel responsible for the hands- on maintenance of the LM6000 will benefit most from this training. Scope of training focuses on selected Level 2 procedures identified in the applicable Operation and Maintenance manual.

This course offers a firm understanding of the basic operations of all types of GE heavy duty gas turbines. The course is designed for those persons with no or limited knowledge of gas turbines.The objective of this course is to give participants an understanding of basic gas turbine operations and construction as well as a fundamental knowledge of proper operation, control and protection of the turbine and its accessory systems. The course does not include any discussions of generators.Emphasis is placed on the following areas:

• Basic gas turbine operating cycle
• Overview of gas turbine major components and equipment arrangements and how these relate to overall operation and performance
• Fundamentals of gas turbine control and protection: start-up, speed, load, shutdown and temperature
• Operating parameters and control / protection features of the various turbine support systems such as the lubricating oil, hydraulic, variable inlet guide vanes, starting means and fuels
• Operating factors and considerations that affect maintenance intervals

The course is held at the GE Energy Learning Center in Niskayuna (Schenectady), NY USA. This location has turbine equipment available to view that enhances the learning experience beyond the classroom lectures and discussions.

Instruction is designed so technical personnel responsible for the hands- on maintenance of the LM2500 or LM2500+ will benefit most from this training. Scope of training focuses on selected Level 2 procedures identified in the applicable maintenance manual.

This course provides training on the essential elements of the Mk VI turbine control system. The course will include instruction on the hardware and software components of the Mk VI control system and its interface system (HMI). Alarm troubleshooting and LVDT calibration will be central topics of the program. Additionally, practical exercises on Mk VI equipment will reinforce the daily lecture material.
