Vicosol provides comprehensive course packages covering the LM gas turbine control system. Leveraging our experience and specialized knowledge of LM control systems, including their operations, troubleshooting, and optimization, we believe Vicosol is uniquely positioned to offer these courses.

Our strategy involves tailoring course modules to match participants’ specific machinery and generation of installed equipment. This approach ensures a customized learning experience tailored to each installation and/or generation of turbine control system. When placing an order, an order matrix is arranged based on the type of turbine and the installed/generation of equipment.

• Review of an LM turbine package, seen from a controls point of view
• Review of the site-specific Controls HW layout, with in depth review of the parts and functionality
• Review of the Woodward GAP software and navigation in the SW. Get to understand the evaluation of fuel control, sequences in the logic as well as the alarms. In addition, get introduced to, and trained to use the debugging tools as well as other relevant Woodward SW tools.
• Thorough review of the turbine control system with the focus on practical use
• Understand the relation between C&E, alarm setpoints listed in P&ID vs setup in GAP SW
• Interactions with other systems (SAS / F&G / AVR)
• Fuel valves function, wiring and signals
• General maintenance of control system

Outcome of the controls training course is to close the gap between drawings, subsystems, field instruments and logic in the control system. The course modules is built around practical use of the control system, with extensive use of exercises, real world cases, and best practice. With usage of a simulator, we can run the actual installed code and the participants can train «online» with a simulated code in real time.
