(ABB) Combustion Turbine Maintenance (CT523)

(ABB) COMBUSTION TURBINE O&M

(CT523)

This 4.5- day course was developed to improve the effectiveness of maintenance activities associated with ABB combustion turbines. First we need
to learn to properly identify all the major components and systems. An overview of the identification of this equipment is offered in advance of the
more detailed lectures to follow. Next, we need to learn to better plan and implement combustion turbine maintenance outages. Planning, safety,
procedures and considerations regarding replace/reuse/repair decision-making are very important topics covered. We examine the most common
causes of gas path damage and the impact upon efficiency, reliability and availability. Related topics include clearance data taking, NDE, bearing
inspections, and alignment issues. Combustion turbine operation is discussed from the perspective of auxiliary systems and how operating factors
may impact maintenance intervals.

A topical outline includes: Review of CT Fundamentals, Construction and Operating Principles, Auxiliary Systems, Controls Overview,
Maintenance Preparation and Planning, Combustion Section Inspection, Turbine Inspection, Major Inspection and Alignment.

This course has been specifically designed for plant personnel who are involved in safely and effectively operating and maintaining of these ABB
combustion turbines.

OBJECTIVES
Upon successful completion of this course the participant should be able to:
1. Describe the major components and systems associated with ABB combustion turbines.
2. List combustion turbine operational and safety issues that typically cause the scheduling of a maintenance outage.
3. Describe differences between a hot gas path inspection, turbine inspection, and major inspection.
4. List the considerations that must be included when developing an outage plan or schedule.
5. Describe the major considerations when making a replace/reuse/repair decision.
6. Describe the support systems and requirements for operation.
7. Describe the procedures necessary for the safe and effective disassembly and reassembly of gas turbine components.
8. Describe the disassembly and reassembly of the major fuel valves.
9. List the most common causes of gas path damage and their possible affects upon future operation.
10. Describe most common causes gas path defects and their impact upon turbine efficiency and reliability.
11. Describe the type and purpose of clearance and alignment measurements commonly taken during the disassembly and reassembly of a
combustion turbine unit.
12. Describe the measuring instruments used to determine CT component clearances.
13. List and describe the various non-destructive examinations performed during disassembly of the CT.
14. Describe the common procedures for cleaning and inspecting CT components.
15. Describe the criteria used to evaluate CT component defects.
16. Describe the common repair methods for repair of CT components.
17. Describe the common types and operation of journal and thrust bearings.
18. Describe the common causes of bearing damage.
19. Describe the measurements required to determine oil clearances.
20. Describe common bearing inspection and repair procedures.
21. Describe the considerations to be taken into account when evaluating alignment of CT components.
22. Describe the methods used to properly align CT generator components.
