In this program, we’ll cover some problems that can occur during operation of a simple cycle combustion turbine that drives an electric generator, and we’ll see how operators can deal with these problems. We’ll look at problems that can occur during startup and shutdown. We’ll also look at some of the abnormal conditions that can occur within the different component sections of the turbine generator unit, and its support systems. Vector Solutions has a long history of providing industry-specific content for its customers. While this course and its content remain accurate and functional within our systems, the look and feel may not match our more modern offerings.
When you complete your training, you should be able to:
Startup
Identify and describe some problems that can occur during startup of a simple cycle combustion turbine, and describe how operators can deal with these problems.
Shutdown
Identify and describe some problems that can occur during shutdown of a simple cycle combustion turbine, and describe how operators can deal with these problems.
Identify and describe conditions that can cause automatic shutdown of a simple cycle combustion turbine.
Identify and describe conditions that can make it necessary for an operator to make a manual emergency shutdown of a simple cycle combustion turbine.
Describe operator responsibilities that are associated with automatic shutdowns and with manual emergency shutdowns.
Topic 2 – Abnormal Conditions
When you complete your training, you should be able to:
Inlet Air System and Compressor Section
Identify and describe abnormal conditions that may be associated with the inlet air system and the compressor section of a simple cycle combustion turbine, and describe how operators can deal with these conditions.
Fuel System and Combustion Section
Identify and describe abnormal conditions that may be associated with the fuel system and the combustion section of a simple cycle combustion turbine, and describe how operators can deal with these conditions.
Turbine Section and Generator
Identify and describe abnormal conditions that may be associated with the turbine system and the electric generator in a simple cycle application, and describe how operators can deal with these conditions.
Other Support Systems
Identify and describe abnormal conditions that may be associated with the lube oil, fire protection, environmental, and control systems of a simple cycle combustion turbine, and describe how operators can deal with these conditions.
