Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to undertake the management of an in-service gas turbine unit.Agas turbineis an internal combustion engine that converts naturalgasor other liquid fuels to mechanical energy. Competency in this unit requires the ability to plan work, operate gas turbine plant, test gas turbine plant, analyse gas turbine plant faults, monitor gas turbine plant and complete all documentation. Individuals will, in general, work as a frontline manager or supervisor, in a power generation facility. Power generation plant operators are trained and authorised to isolate, prepare plant and issue permits to work.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
