Combustion Turbine: Normal Operations

In this course, we’ll focus on operator responsibilities that are typically associated with the normal operation of a simple cycle combustion turbine that drives an electric generator. We’ll see pre-startup checks that operators perform, and we’ll look at steps involved in starting up the unit and then shutting it down. We’ll also identify conditions that operators monitor during normal turbine operation, and we’ll cover some routine inspection and maintenance tasks that operators may perform.
