The gas turbine can be one of the most valued assets of a power plant. However, just like any generation asset, documented operating procedures and routine maintenance requirements must be followed to keep it operating in peak condition.

The Fundamentals of Gas Turbine Operation and Routine Maintenance training course explains several common procedures for operating a combustion turbine. It also identifies conditions that need emergency procedures. This online training course includes:

• Pre-startup maintenance and inspection
• Basic startup procedure
• Fuel swapping
• Water wash
• Windmilling
• Emergency conditions
• Environmental effects

The Fundamentals of Gas Turbine Operation and Routine Maintenance is part of the Combustion Turbine Fundamentals training series.
