Basic Technical Training Standard / V9 2024-06-24
The aim of this lesson is to give the participants basic knowledge of the lubrication system.
ELEMENT 10.1 - COMPONENTS REQUIRING LUBRICATION, AND WHY
Learning objectives:
76) The participants can recognise which components in a WTG must be lubricated and why (Knowledge, basic level)
77) The participants can describe the consequences of inadequate lubrication (Knowledge, basic level)
78) The participants can describe the hazards associated with lubrication systems (Knowledge, basic level)
79) The participants can describe the importance of appropriate isolation/locking techniques (Knowledge, basic level)
80) The participants can describe the correct PPE (Knowledge, basic level)
The instructor shall:
Explain why components need lubrication (e.g. gearbox, bearings…)
Explain how oil and grease reduce friction and lower the production of heat
Explain that oil and grease pumps can be used to keep the bearings, teeth, gears, etc. lubricated to reduce friction and corrosion
Facilitate discussions with the participants about:
a.
the consequences of inadequate lubrication
b. the hazards associated with the lubrication system (e.g. discussions on how the hazards of the lubrication system compare to the hazards of the gearbox, the mechanical and aerodynamic brakes, the yaw system and the cooling system)
c. the importance of appropriate isolation/locking techniques (e.g. Lock Out Tag Out)
d.
the correct PPE
The participants shall:
Engage in discussions about the consequences of inadequate lubrication
