TargetAudience:

This course is designed for personnel who may have limited experience of operating Solar turbo-machinery packages, but who have a sound general technical background and some industry related experience as a operator, instrument technician, ormechanicaltechnician.

As such, the students should already be able to recognize and understand general technical and industry terms; be able to interpret simple system schematic diagrams; and be proficient in the use of basic instrumentation, electrical, and mechanical tools, and techniques.

Course Objectives:

On completion of this course the student will be able to:

1. Describe Pre-Start Checks; Start Procedures; Stop Procedures; and Normal Operation, including operational configuration and parameter changes
2. Differentiate between common operational-based and maintenance-based abnormal conditions
3. Make operational parameter changes in response to abnormal operationalbased conditions or alarms/shutdowns
4. Take appropriate first response action and accurately communicate relevant data to investigative personnel in relation to abnormal maintenance-based conditions
5. Plan and execute predictive, preventative, and corrective maintenance in accordance with Solar recommendations
6. Perform basic performance verification in support of predictive maintenance activities.
