The Basic Technical Training modules are targeted at candidates who have no previous experience of hydraulic, mechanical, electrical or installation systems, but may also be used to upskill candidates who have some knowledge but not of its application in wind turbines.
Prerequisites
All personnel participating in Basic Technical Training shall be medically fit and capable of fully participating.
Objective
The aim of this GWO BTT Standard Electrical Module is to give the participants the knowledge and skills to carry out basic tasks (supervised by an experienced technician). The module is designed so wind turbine technicians can:
1. Explain the basics of electricity.
2. Explain risks and hazards associated with electrical work.
3. Explain the function and symbol of electrical components.
4. Explain the function of different types of sensors.
5. Explain and interpret a simple electrical diagram and demonstrate how to assembly it on a circuit.
6. Demonstrate how to make correct and safe measurements.
Course content
The GWO BTT Electrical module covers the following topics:
• Introduction
• Introduction to electricity
• Electrical components
• Sensors
• Electrical circuits
• Electrical measuring instruments
Exam
The participants will be assessed separately on each module according to the learning objectives, by means of direct observation and supplementary oral questions where appropriate (formative evaluation).
Furthermore, the participants will be subjected to a written phase test on each module according to the learning objectives (summative evaluation).
Note: The Basic Technical Training is an enduring qualification, so a validity period does not apply to this training. This is based on the assumption that the participant is actively working in a wind turbine environment. If there is an extended period of absence from applying the skills, retraining and recertification may be required according to national legislation and company policy.
