The student will learn operations and design of wind turbines in the energy technology and power generation industries. Students will demonstrate what they have learned by identifying the major components and their relationship to the wind turbine operation. With the use of the correct equipment manuals, and electrical schematics, the student will properly disassemble, test and/or inspect and reassemble wind turbine components and systems crucial to systems operation. They will be taught proper torquing procedures and complete torquing procedures per equipment manual instruction. Identification of and adherence to proper technical and safety procedures will be emphasized to establish a culture of safety. Students will become familiar with equipment manuals and electrical schematics using them to complete the assigned maintenance, troubleshooting, inspections, and repairs. Pre-job task meetings, documentation, job hazard and safety analysis, confined space, lock-out tag-out, and hot work permits will be utilized so students will become familiar with regard to industry procedures and protocols.
