Advanced Controls Training
TRAINING LM6000/2500+G4 DLE GAS TURBINE CONTROLS EXPERT (CE)
Course Introduction
This training course has been developed to fill customers' needs to get the highest level of training for operating and maintaining complex aero-derivative gas turbines like the LM6000 DLE and LM2500 DLE. We can tailor the course to whatever control variant is installed at the customer's site, whether Woodward Controllers, GE MKV/VLM/VI/VIe or IHI of Japan.
CE training is a combination of 5 different courses: Control System Hardware — GAP Control Software — DLE Engine Control Operations — DLE Mapping — Real life case troubleshooting.
The main objective is to deliver specialised, practice-focused training for customers who want to substantially increase their knowledge up to an expert level in a short time. The CE course is given by an experienced trainer who has over 16 years' experience in operations and maintenance of a large LM6000/2500 DLE fleet.
