2025 GTEN Spring Technical Course 

May 26 & 27, 2025

The Westin Nova Scotian
Halifax, NS, Canada

Welcome

Gas turbine energy systems play a critical role in facilitating the transition towards de-carbonization of energy resources. They have supported the phaseout of coal-based power across Canada, as well as providing cogeneration services, and gas compression for pipelines and offshore platforms. Using large amounts of high pressure air for power, gas turbine systems produce dispatchable, on-demand power necessary to provide resilience and support for the increasing share of intermittent renewables, and for managing energy during extreme weather events.

Building on established technology and a large installed base, advancements in system efficiency, flexibility and emissions reduction technology are ensuring that reliable gas turbine systems will remain an important part of the energy mix for years to come.

GTEN delivers technical training and a biennial technical symposium related to gas turbine applications and turbomachinery in clean and reliable energy solutions. Part of developing the energy transition is continuous onsite learning, so this technical course offers several hours towards Professional Engineering continuing education credits.

Preliminary topics are listed below.

• Gas Turbine and Cogeneration Basics
• Grid Resiliency with Low-Cost Peaking Power
• Synchronous Condensing and Electric Generators
• Gas Turbine Applications Across Canada
• Gas Compression in Pipelines and Offshore Platforms
• Hydrogen Systems, Emissions Reduction & Monitoring
• Gas Turbine Controls
• Operation and Maintenance Practices
• Environmental Emissions and Solutions
