Support Systems of Gas Turbine Power Plant

The gas turbine is the most versatile item of turbomachinery today. It can be used in several different modes in critical industries such as power generation, oil and gas, process plants, aviation, as well domestic and smaller related industries. A gas turbine essentially brings together air that it compresses in its compressor module, and fuel, that are then ignited. Resulting gases are expanded through a turbine. That turbine’s shaft continues to rotate and drive the compressor which is on the same shaft, and operation continues. A separate starter unit is used to provide the first rotor motion, until the turbine’s rotation is up to design speed and can keep the entire unit running.
Nbiz Infosol provides this course in UAE specifically in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, RAK, Al Ain, Umm Al Quwain and other areas

The objective of this course is to present and discuss features of the various support systems and auxiliaries that are necessary for operation of the gas turbine. Both ON-BASE and OFF-BASE equipment is studied. Note that, the design of the support systems varies according to the size and purpose of the gas turbine unit
