The aims of the O&M of Gas Turbines Workshop is to share the experiences of our internationally renowned expert with an aim to prevent such incidents and also to examine the factors and opportunities to increase plant safety, environmental performance. And improve uptime and availability all factors contributing to higher profitability. The workshop will also examine scheduled maintenance and turnarounds which are opportunities to increase plant safety and environmental performance. By enhancing the mechanical integrity of HPI facilities, operating companies can achieve and maintain higher uptime and equipment availability; all are factors that contribute to higher profitability. Best-of-class companies hold the mindset that reliability programs provide great benefits. Investing in new monitoring and conditioning systems, along with preventive maintenance and inspection programs, can optimize unit and total facility performance. The development of dry low NOx (DLN) combustors for gas turbines has cut the industry's consumption of water, while dramatically slashing air emissions. Unfortunately, this environmental enhancement has created an engineering challenge: The lean-burning DLN combustors are prone to flame instability, which can cause pressure pulsations large enough to destroy the combustor, launching debris downstream where it annihilates other hot-gas-path components. To detect and correct flame instability before it causes millions of dollars of turbine damage, savvy users have begun to install advanced sensors and robust software that monitor the combustor dynamics in real time. High dynamics can limit hardware life and/or system operability. Thus, there have been various attempts to control combustion dynamics, to prevent degradation of system performance. There are two basic methods for controlling combustion dynamics in an industrial gas turbine combustion system: passive control and active control. As the name suggests, passive control refers to a system that incorporates certain design features and characteristics to reduce dynamic pressure oscillations. Active control, on the other hand, incorporates a sensor to detect, e.g., pressure fluctuations and to provide a feedback signal. Which, When suitably processed by a controller, provides an input signal to a control device. The control device in turn operates to reduce the dynamic pressure oscillations. The workshop will examine the factors and the issues associated with combustor dynamics, and technologies like AMFM/CFM.
