GWO Blade Repair Training Standard V2.0
2021-04-01_TS_BR_V2
The participants can perform adjustments of the light intensity and angle to correctly identify difficult-to-see damage in a laminate structure (Skills, intermediate level) The participants can act independently in adjusting the light intensity and angle to correctly identify difficult-to-see damage in a laminate structure (Ability, intermediate level)
Training staff shall:
Explain how the intensity and the angle of the light source used for inspecting a laminate structure can affect the visibility of defects within the laminate
Explain how incorrect lighting can hide defects
Facilitate practice to improve the participants’ ability to adjust the light intensity and angle to correctly identify difficult-to-see damage in a laminate structure
The participants shall:
Practice the ability to adjust the light intensity and angle to correctly identify difficult-to-see damage in a laminate structure
Training staff shall:
Give constructive feedback on the participants’ ability to adjust the light intensity and angle to correctly identify difficult-to-see damage in a laminate structure
INSPECTION TOOLS AND METHODS
Learning objectives:
The participants can recognise the situations when blade inspections are required (Knowledge, basic level) The participants can recognise the conditions for accessing a blade for inspection or repair (Knowledge, basic level)
The participants can recognise the different inspection tools and methods (Knowledge, basic level)
The participants can act independently in locating, identifying, categorising and documenting damage on a wind turbine blade (Ability, intermediate level)
Training staff shall:
Describe situations when blade inspections are required by considering installation, periodic maintenance, end-of-warranty inspections, and when damage is suspected following an incident such as a bird strike Explain the conditions for accessing a blade for inspection or repair, such as: platforms, rope access, if the blade is on the ground and inspecting a blade from a distance, and the inspection methods that can be used in each situation Explain which tools can be used for inspecting a blade from a distance by considering telescopes, cameras and drones, and the limitations and advantages of each tool
