Course WT1-03C: Operation and Maintenance of Wind Farms - compact
We will be doing most of the wind courses "on demand", which means that we will hold them only if we get enough interested participants. If you are interested in one of our wind courses please write us an email telling us which course and indicate a time period that is suitable for you. Once we have enough interested persons (we usually need about 10) we will then contact you and try to schedule the course.

Content
Duration of the course: 3 days
The course teaches the fundamentals of onshore wind farm operation and maintenance. The emphasis lies on understanding how to perform good maintenance strategies. Therefore it is not only necessary to understand the technique of wind turbines; there are many more aspects that need to be taken into consideration. The course provides detailed knowledge about different methods of maintenance, different concepts of wind turbine technology, maintenance of the electrical and hydraulic system, rotor blades, as well as guarantee and warranty, safety aspects, personal safety equipment, communication structures and procedures, condition monitoring systems and documentation. Furthermore the course gives you advice how to improve the wind farm performance. Practical exercises complement the theoretical material to ensure an optimal learning outcome.
