6.3 Wind Turbine Environment Explained
The training providers ‘goal should be to achieve training facilities and a training environment with as many identical elements to a real wind turbine working environment possible. In addition, ‘train as you work’ (e.g. executing training end to end the way participants should perform in practice ) enhances real work behaviour.
So how can training be designed
to ‘train as you work’ and create an e nvironment with a high degree of
realism?
For access up and down the tower, the tower is typically fitted with ladder sections equipped with a vertical fall protection system and tower section platforms with ladder hatches that include certified anchor points for attaching personal fall protection equipment. The wind turbine may also include a basement section fitted as mentioned, primarily holding electrical cabinets. In the geared type WTG s, access in the nacelle is in general limited to narrow pathways along the left or right side of the main shaft and generator . These pathways often contain mechanical components, as well as steps and small ladder sections due to variations in floor level, increasing the risk of trips and falls. Access between the nacelle and hub is possible through low and often very narrow passageways.
