199) The participants can act independently in locating, identifying, categorising and documenting damage on a wind turbine blade (Ability, intermediate level)
The instructor shall:
Create an exercise where the participants must locate, identify, and categorise the damage to a wind turbine blade. The damage must include the following: an area of delamination, cracks in the surface layers of gelcoat and paint, cracks in the laminate and holes through to the core material
The areas of damage must cover different categories of damage and must include damage that can only be found by using a specific angle of lighting
Create an exercise where the participants must inspect and identify damage on a wind turbine blade from a distance using a telescope and a camera with a zoom lens. Demonstrate the use of these tools to perform a blade inspection Ask the participants relevant questions about situations when a blade inspection might be required, the methods that can be utilised to access a blade, and the methods that can be used to perform a blade inspection Give constructive feedback on the participants’ ability to locate, identify, categorise, and document damage on a wind turbine blade (both on the blade itself, and from a distance) using visual inspection, tap testing, a telescope, and a camera with a zoom lens
The participants shall:
Describe situations when a blade inspection might be required, the methods that can be utilised to access a blade, and the methods that can be used to perform a blade inspection
Practise the ability to locate, identify, categorise and document damage on a wind turbine blade (both on the blade itself and from a distance) using visual inspection, tap testing, a telescope, and a camera with a zoom lens
