GWO Basic Technical Training - 4 Days
The GWO Basic Technical Training (BTT) is structured into three modules, scheduled over a total of four days:
1. **Mechanical Module – 2 Days:** This segment provides an understanding of wind turbine mechanical systems and operations. Trainees will learn about the risks associated with mechanics, bolted and welded connections, and the use of manual and hydraulic tools. They'll also gain knowledge of gearboxes, brake systems, yaw systems, cooling systems, and lubrication systems, along with relevant inspection techniques.
2. **Electrical Module – 1 Day:** Participants will cover the basics of electricity and electrical work hazards. The module also includes education on electrical components, sensors, interpreting simple electrical diagrams, and assembling circuits. Safe measurement practices are also demonstrated.
3. **Hydraulic Module – 1 Day:** This part of the course delves into hydraulic basics and associated work hazards. It covers the functions and inspection of pumps, actuators, valves, and accumulators, as well as oil handling procedures. Trainees will learn to identify components on a hydraulic diagram and measure hydraulic pressure.
**Target Audience:**
The course is designed for individuals aspiring to enter the onshore and offshore renewable energy sectors, particularly suitable for those without prior experience in mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems. It also benefits those with some knowledge or transferable skills, providing upskilling opportunities to work in the wind turbine industry.
**Course Requirements:**
Delegates are required to register for a GWO WINDA I.D before attending the course. Those without a WINDA I.D can register at [https://winda.globalwindsafety.org/register/delegate/](https://winda.globalwindsafety.org/register/delegate/).
**Learning Outcomes:**
By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:
- Understand wind turbines' mechanical components and systems.
- Recognize mechanical hazards and manage them.
- Use both manual and hydraulic tools effectively.
- Inspect various mechanical systems within wind turbines.
- Grasp the basics of electricity and identify electrical hazards.
- Understand and work with different electrical components and sensors.
- Read and construct simple electrical circuits based on diagrams.
- Perform safe electrical measurements.
- Comprehend hydraulic systems and manage associated risks.
- Operate and inspect hydraulic pumps, actuators, valves, and sensors.
- Manage hydraulic fluids and interpret hydraulic diagrams.
- Measure hydraulic pressures with accuracy.
