UEPOPS134 — Shut down a gas turbine

1 Plan and prepare gas turbine shutdown work

• 1.1Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations, legislative requirements, codes of practice, manufacturers’ recommendations and specifications, environmental requirements and workplace procedures are identified, applied and monitored
• 1.2Work requirements are identified from relevant personnel and documentation in accordance with workplace procedures
• 1.3Operational checks are carried out on gas turbine plant in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations and specifications, and workplace procedures
• 1.4Team and individual roles and responsibilities are identified and recorded in the shutdown plan in accordance with workplace procedures

2 Conduct gas turbine shutdown

• 2.1Gas turbine is unloaded and shutdown in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations and specifications, and workplace procedures
• 2.2Gas turbine exhaust gas flow and power output are adjusted when gas turbine is a component of a combined unit to achieve required steam flow conditions in accordance with workplace procedures
• 2.3Gas turbine and associated power generation plant is placed in a safe condition in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations and specifications, and workplace procedures
• 2.4Gas turbine plant is operated within limits of design during gas turbine shutdown in accordance with workplace procedures
• 2.5Gas turbine plant is inspected and monitored to detect abnormal operating conditions during shutdown in accordance with workplace procedures
• 2.6Corrective actions are taken to rectify gas turbine plant operation abnormalities in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations and specifications, and workplace procedures

3 Inspect and test gas turbine plant operation during shutdown

• 3.1Tests are performed on gas turbine plant in accordance with workplace procedures
• 3.2Gas turbine system and plant is observed for operational response in accordance with workplace procedures
• 3.3Corrective action is taken when operation response is not in accordance with shutdown work plan, plant integrity and safety requirements in accordance with workplace procedures
• 3.4Gas turbine plant is returned to required operational status upon completion of testing in accordance with workplace procedures

4 Analyse system faults during gas turbine shutdown

• 4.1Causes of abnormal gas turbine plant operating conditions are identified by analysing technical and operational information in accordance with workplace procedures
• 4.2Gas turbine plant integrity and personnel safety is maintained and through consultation with relevant personnel and technical and operational documentation in accordance with workplace procedures
• 4.3Relevant personnel are notified when defects are detected in accordance with workplace procedures

5 Complete documentation

• 5.1Gas turbine plant problems, movements and status are reported in accordance with workplace procedures
• 5.2Documentation is updated in accordance with workplace procedures

What does an assessment tool for UEPOPS134 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UEPOPS134 needs to address all 46 unit components: 5 elements with 19 performance criteria, 14 performance evidence requirements, 13 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for UEPOPS134?

Auditori pulls the current release of UEPOPS134 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for UEPOPS134 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing UEPOPS134 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of UEPOPS134, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
