The use of Gas Turbines in the Power Generation, Petrochemical and Pipeline Industries has increased considerably in the last few years. The development, in particular, of Combined Cycle and Combined Heat and Power applications has accelerated the use of Industrial Gas Turbines.

This course therefore is intended to provide an overview of the main components of a Gas Turbine together with the main systems that drive the Industrial Gas Turbine.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Have an overview of the main components of a gas turbine together with the main systems that drive the Industrial Gas Turbine
• Be able to understand the components of a gas turbine
• Identify gas turbines and their purpose
• Demonstrate how gas turbines are designed and operated
• Explain the role of gas turbine generators
• Describe inline gas compressors

Electrical Engineers, Power Generation Engineers, Power System Protection Engineers, Gas turbine newcomers and more experienced persons who desire an overview of the many available gas turbine technologies, Process Control Engineers & Personnel, Electrical and Instrumentation Technicians & Design Engineers, Maintenance Technicians & Supervisors, Plant Operators & Technicians, Oil & Gas Industry Personnel
