10) This relates to the competency standard unit as a whole providing the range of contexts and conditions to which the Performance Criteria apply. It allows for different work environments and situations that will affect performance. Diagnosing and rectification of faults on wind turbine generators may include: Climbing equipment, including personnel lifts, climb assist, elevators, ladders Lifting apparatus including winches and cranes Hydraulic equipment, including turbine braking equipment. Diagnosis and repair may include: visual inspections, accessing data logs and fault diagnosis data, replacement of components not requiring the presence of an external crane, replacement of electrical protection equipment, lose wiring, checking the tension of bolts, replacing sensors, replacing seals and o-rings, lubrication, testing of equipment for correct operation, inspection of slip rings and lubrication of equipment. Tools may include spanners, screwdrivers, side cutters, pliers, high torque wrench, grease pump Test equipment may include laser alignment tools, multimeters, laptop computers, PC tablet, smart phones and other data acquisition tools and equipment. Consumables may include gearbox oils, bearing grease, paint, detergents, ‘Loctite’ Large Scale Wind Generators (WTGs) include systems having a rating of greater than 10 kW Work completion details may include plant and maintenance records, job cards, check sheets, on device labelling updates and reporting and/or documenting equipment defects. Data may include both real-time and data-logged Work site environment may be affected by nearby plant or processes and climatic conditions e.g. wind speed, chemical, heat, dust, noise, height and oil. Location of wind turbine generators may be in urban, suburban, regional or rural locales and environments. Documentation may be either paper-based or electronic format. Isolations can refer to electrical/mechanical or other associated processes. Generic terms used throughout this Vocational Standard shall be regarded as part of the Range Statement in which competency is demonstrated. The definition of these and other terms that apply are given in the Glossaries, Section 2.1 of this Training Package. |
