Turbine Control & Protection Systems

This Power Plant-specific Turbine Control & Protection Systems course provides practical knowledge of how turbine control and protection systems operate in modern power plants. It explains the basic principles of turbine governing, speed control, load control, and safe turbine operation. Participants learn about control systems, sensors, actuators, valves, and instrumentation used for turbine monitoring. The course covers important turbine protection functions such as overspeed, high vibration, low lubrication pressure, high bearing temperature, and emergency shutdown. It also introduces trip logic, interlocks, permissive systems, and emergency trip systems. Participants understand how control systems interact with DCS, PLC, and turbine protection systems. The course discusses turbine start-up, shutdown, load changes, and abnormal operating conditions. Practical troubleshooting methods are included to help identify common control and protection system problems. Emphasis is given to safe operation, equipment reliability, and preventing turbine damage. Overall, the course helps engineers and plant professionals develop practical skills for operating, monitoring, maintaining, and troubleshooting turbine control and protection systems.
