Pre-Symposium Workshops

Pre-Symposium Workshops held in conjunction with Gas Turbine Users Symposium 2010 and the 39th Turbomachinery Symposium
George R. Brown Convention Center
Houston, TX USA


Basic Gas Turbine Metallurgy and Repair Technology Workshop


Date: Monday, October 4, 2010


Instructors
Lloyd Cooke, Director, Operations, Liburdi Turbine Services; Warren Miglietti, Power Systems Mfg., LLC (an Alstom owned company); Doug Nagy, Industrial Component Repair Manager, Liburdi Turbine Services


Who Should Attend
A “must” for gas turbine maintenance engineers, managers, repair shop personnel, designers, and technical staff to optimize their repair planning and performance. Useful for business and plant managers, investors and insurers to understand the technology and support sound decision-making.


Course Overview and Objective
This workshop will explain super-alloy materials, component damage experienced from service exposure, techniques used to analyze the remaining life of components removed from service, protective coatings, component repair technologies, and quality assurance of repairs. The workshop includes many case study examples and the last section is devoted to a workshop where attendees develop component repair solutions. Participants may submit questions in advance regarding repair issues faced in their jobs.


Course Highlights

  • What makes superalloys especially suited for gas turbine components
  • How different damage mechanisms (oxidation, corrosion, erosion) affect the component
  • How high cycle fatigue & low cycle fatigue damage is caused, prevented, and repaired
  • Various heat treatments used in repairs, and why they are important
  • Advantages & disadvantages of the many types of protective coatings
  • Critical quality control steps in component repair
  • How to reliably extend the service life of valuable components


Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Primer


Date: Monday, October 4, 2010


Instructor
S. Can (John) Gulen, Principal Engineer, Plant Systems Analysis (PSA)


Course Overview and Objective:
The objective of the course is to provide the practicing engineers in power generation industry with fundamental thermodynamic principles that govern the design and performance of Gas Turbine Combined Cycle power plants. Earn 7 Professional Development Hours (PDH’s) and receive a certificate of completion!


Course Highlights

  • Participants will be able to quickly and accurately gauge the impact on GT selection and design changes on CC performance
  • Participants will be able to make technically and economically feasible CC design choices for given GT characteristics
  • Participants will be able to apply principles of the second law of thermodynamics to GT and CC performance analysis and optimization
  • Participants will have a working knowledge of existing and future novel GT and CC plant design options
  • Participants will be able to use scant available data available in trade publications and academic journals for product performance evaluation
  • Participants will be able to efficiently evaluate plant performance test data beyond standard methods and measures
  • Participants will be able to do quick economic evaluation of technical design changes, innovative ideas, and design options
