Advanced DLE Engine Control Operations.
This 5 days training Part 2 covers the complex Control Operations and Control Schedules of the LM6000DLE/LM2500+G4 gas turbine modules. A unique chapter explains in detail special control operations like: Ignition fuel control — start to core idle fuel control — special stage down alarms etc… All the instrumentation loops and important Core Alarms are explained in detail. The DLE Mapping Section is very detailed and also included is a “Workshop Troubleshooting”.
This new “Workshop” teaches how to find the root cause of operational problems that are covered in real life cases like: failed starts — special trips — stall events — acoustics — stage downs — flame out; etc… Part 2 is also based on the Woodward GAP structure but is independent of the Control Software Platform
For whom
- l&C Technicians and Supervisors.
- Operators and Operation managers.
- Maintenance managers.
- Project managers.
- Plant managers.
Prerequisites
- Thoroughly understanding of the gas turbine equipment and its operation.
- Familiarity with control system basics.
- Training will be given in English language; therefore, a reasonable ability to read and understand spoken English is necessary.

Day 5
Module 7. Workshop.
This module actually is a DLE Troubleshooting Class that covers about 10 different real live operational problems (cases).
The students learns how to find the root cause of the problem and how to correct them with the aid of datalogs — alarm lists — training materials — knowledge etc… supervised by the trainer.
Cases like: start-up problems, acoustic problems, stage down problems, flame out, stall events etc…
