Who is the Course Aimed At?

Individuals who will be working with electrical, hydraulics, mechanical, installation and bolt tightening systems in the wind industry, providing them with the skills needed to perform basic tasks in these areas.

Description of the training course

This combined course covers the following GWO Basic Technical Training (BTT) modules: Mechanical (BTTM), Electrical (BTTE), Hydraulics (BTTH), Bolt Tightening (BTTB) and Installation (BTTI) providing participants with a comprehensive foundation in these technical areas.

1. Electrical (BTTE)

Provides participants with an introduction to electrical issues. Builds awareness of safety rules, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment. Allows the participant to identify the various components of an electrical system and understand their role. In practical terms, it gives the basics of interpreting simple schematics, assembling circuits and using measuring tools safely and correctly.

2. Hydraulics (BTTH)

This course provides an introduction to hydraulics, focusing on the awareness of essential safety rules and the proper use of personal protective equipment. Participants will learn how to identify various components of a hydraulic system and understand their functions. The course also covers the basics of interpreting simple hydraulic diagrams, assembling hoses, and correct and safe usage of measuring tools.

3. Mechanical (BTTM)

This module introduces the basics of mechanics, focusing on the awareness of essential safety rules and the proper use of personal protective equipment. Participants will learn how to identify various components of a mechanical system and their functions in a wind turbine. The course covers the basics of bolted and welded connections, their inspection techniques, and the basics of inspecting and maintaining key mechanical systems, including gearbox, braking systems, yaw system, cooling systems and lubrication. Participants will also gain experience in using hand and measuring tools.

4. Bolt Tightening (BTTB)

This module introduces bolt tightening training, focusing on the awareness of essential safety rules and the proper use of personal protective equipment. The participants will learn proper bolting principles, inspection techniques and the basics of using hand, electric and hydraulic tools for bolt tightening in the wind industry.

5. Installation (BTTI)

This module introduces installation, focusing on the awareness of essential safety rules and the proper use of personal protective equipment. Participants will learn how to identify various components and understand their functions in a wind turbine. The course also covers the basics of lifting operations, as well as the preparation, assembly and inspection of electrical, mechanical and hydraulic components. It provides basic competence in checking, using and maintaining tools.

Course Goal

The goal of the course is to equip participants with the basic technical knowledge necessary to perform tasks related to the construction and servicing of wind turbines.
