Show an interest in conducting an inspection using the appropriate methodology in accordance with a work instruction (Ability, basic level)

TYPICAL FAILURES

Learning objective:

The participants can recognise and categorise typical failures found in wind turbine blades (Knowledge, basic level) The participants can recognise the importance of consulting the blade manufacturer’s documentation to obtain the manufacturer specific damage categories for the accurate reporting of blade damage (Knowledge, basic level)

Training staff shall:

Show examples of and describe typical failures and defects in wind turbine blades covering:

a. erosion

b. impact damage

c. holes

d. cracks and delamination in the leading edge

e. blade surface and trailing edge

f.

trailing edge bond line failures

g. lightning damage

Explain how to categorize those defects and failures on a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being minor damage and 5 being serious structural failure. Show examples of typical failures in each category Emphasize the importance of consulting blade manufacturer documentation to obtain the manufacturer specific damage categories for the accurate reporting of blade damage Demonstrate the ability to recognise typical defects and failures found in wind turbine blades, and correctly identify which damage category each failure or defect falls under Describe in their own words and share their understanding of how to recognise typical defects and failures found in wind turbine blades, and which damage category each failure or defect falls under

The participants shall:

Describe in their own words and share understandings about how to recognise typical defects and failures found in wind turbine blades and which damage category each failure or defect falls under

REACTIONS TO DAMAGE CATEGORIES

Learning objective:

The participants can recognise the importance of consulting blade manufacturer specific documentation (Knowledge, basic level)
