SIMULATOR / APPLIED EXERCISES

• Plant familiarisation, generator start-up, synchronisation and load sharing
• Diesel-to-gas changeover and normal load variations
• BOG/fuel-gas pressure control and compressor management
• Gas trip, generator failure, blackout and emergency recovery
• Integrated DFDE operation, manoeuvring and simulated failures

LEARNING OUTCOMES
