Course Overview

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of Steam Turbine Control Systems, focusing on various turbine control mechanisms, including Governors and Speed Tronic control systems. Through detailed 3D animations, PowerPoint presentations, and extensive graphics, participants will gain virtual exposure to large steam turbines and control systems. The course is designed to give operators and engineers the knowledge to efficiently operate and maintain steam turbine systems, including protection against potential hazards.

Objective:

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Understand the function and operation of Governors in steam turbine control.
Gain knowledge of the Speed Tronic steam control system and its operation.
Comprehend the working principles of steam turbine control systems and their components.
Learn how to perform a HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) analysis on turbine systems.
Understand key protection mechanisms against hazards like loss of lube oil pressure, high exhaust temperature, and bearing vibration.
