Explain in their own words and share their understanding of the health risks posed by epoxy, polyester and polyurethane materials Engage in a group discussion about how to mitigate the health risks posed by epoxy, polyester and polyurethane materials

Training staff shall:

Give constructive feedback on the participants ’ explanations about how to prevent and mitigate incorrect handling, including exothermic reactions, faulty mixing and storage of chemicals, spillages etc and the health risks posed by epoxy, polyester and polyurethane materials Give constructive feedback on the participants ’ group discussion about how to mitigate the health risks posed by epoxy, polyester and polyurethane materials

COMPOSITES AND BLADE CONSTRUCTION

60 min.

The aim of the lesson is to give the participants the knowledge to be able to understand, apply and explain basic information about blade construction, components and aerodynamics.

After having successfully completed this lesson the participants will be able to:

Explain how blade construction, components and aerodynamics influence blade performance and mitigate blade damage (Knowledge, intermediate level)

AERODYNAMICS

Learning objective:

The participants can describe basic aerodynamic principles and how these causes a wind turbine rotor to turn (Knowledge, basic level)

Training staff shall:

Describe the aerodynamic principles of a wind turbine blade

Explain how blade aerodynamics causes the rotor of a wind turbine to turn

Describe typical aerodynamic and safety add-ons used on wind turbine blades

Explain how aerodynamic performance and safety add-ons change blade performance

Explain how blade surface defects affect blade noise and productivity

Ask the participants relevant questions about basic aerodynamic principles and how these causes a wind turbine rotor to turn

The participants shall:

Describe in their own words and share their understanding of basic aerodynamic principles and how these causes a wind turbine rotor to turn
