(OIT301.2) Understanding, Calculating and Troubleshooting Gas Turbine Performance

Understanding, Calculating and Troubleshooting Gas Turbine Performance

Description

The Understanding, Calculating and Troubleshooting Gas Turbine Performance course is designed to provide an understanding of why a gas turbine works in the way it does and what affects its capabilities with an understanding of the basic steps of the gas turbine operating cycle.

The goal of this seminar is to provide an understanding of the gas turbine systems, terminology and operating cycle used in the Outlet Temperature Control (OTC)thodology, and to maintain / improve plant performance.
