Wind Turbine Troubleshooting
Training
DWPAs Wind Turbine Troubleshooting Training is customized to your wind farms specific turbines.
What is Troubleshooting training about?
The troubleshooting training is designed to help technicians understand complex electric- and hydraulic diagrams better. It includes various exercises where participants engage in real-life troubleshooting of typical and specific faults, applying the proper methods acquired in our advanced theory training.
Evaluation and assessment will cover Safe Work Procedures and Methods, electric isolation (LOTO), troubleshooting methodology, schematic tracing, proper tool and instrument utilization, effective communication, reporting, and the establishment of a solutions database/pool.
Reliable and ambitious friends that grow with you. I met Carsten Lind Andersen more than 10 years ago when we were creating our first service teams in onshore and offshore wind. Since then dwpa - Danish Wind Power Academy has been a great friend at work.
Why troubleshooting training?
As many wind farm operators struggle with long repair times, repeated faults, and reduced component/turbine lifetime our training were introduced to guarantee efficient, quick, and safe resolution of turbine faults.
Our troubleshooting Trainers are not just highly skilled with several years of platform-specific experience, but also certified as professional Trainers by TÜV Rheinland, after a comprehensive 2-year external trainer program.
We will prepare your operators/technicians to understand and implement the correct troubleshooting methodology, with a focus on the repair or replacement of the correct component.
The goal of the training
- Reducing the time of troubleshooting
- Using the correct components
- Reducing cost
- Root cause analysis with “first visit=final repair”
- Correct information on reports with step-by-step troubleshooting methodology
- Reducing opex cost
- Reducing unplanned shutdown
- Changing expensive part swopper mentality
- Create foundation for correct root cause analysis
Participant feedback
We would highly recommend the DWPA training course to any new technicians to the industry, with guaranteed immediate positive results for any employer within the industry”
I will forever be grateful for the experience gained and relationships formed with this organization.
What to expect?
A 100 % hands-on, on-site training experience, involving hands-on practical sessions that allow the participants to connect the theoretical insights gained from the prior “Turbine training” to real-world turbine faults.
Who can benefit?
Primarily wind turbine technicians and lead technicians.
Furthermore, technical support engineers, site managers, and all other staff involved in on-site repairs. The goal is for everyone involved in site operations to “speak the same language”, by using proactive actions and best-practice.
Outcome
After successful training completion you will experience:
- Increase of performance of the teams on site
- Better control of the turbine and site
- Proactive repairs/solving problems will also result in better conservation of asset value and increasing production.
- Creating a database/knowledge pool with the correct explanations, components used, and technical orientation.
- The participants (after successful training completion) will be valuable technical experts and mentors within their organization
Practicalities
All participants must have participated in, and passed the certification test, from a full DWPA “Turbine” training.
All participants must have all relevant valid certificates for on-site work (like GWO certificates, work in live electrical circuits, health certificates, and other relevant certificates according to local regulations).
The client must give full access, to one complete, and working turbine. All relevant tools and equipment for the training, must be made available by the client.
If you have not participated in, and passed the certification test from a full DWPA “Advanced Theory class”, you can read more about our Advanced Theory training here.
