Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to design wind energy conversion system (WECS) rated to 10 kilowatt (kW) and its installation.It includes determining and developing WECS design, following design briefs, documenting design calculations and criteria, and obtaining design approval for WECS.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to design WECS
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied
  • 1.2 Scope of the WECS is determined from design brief
  • 1.3 Safety and regulatory requirements to which the electrical installation must comply are identified, obtained and applied
  • 1.4 Design development work is planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with relevant person/s involved in the WECS installation or associated work
2 Develop WECS design
  • 2.1 WECS performance standards and compliance methods are applied to the design
  • 2.2 Alternative WECS designs are considered in accordance with the design brief
  • 2.3 Safety, functionality and budgetary considerations are incorporated in the WECS design
  • 2.4 WECS design is drafted and checked for compliance with the design brief and regulatory requirements
  • 2.5 WECS design is documented for submission to relevant person/s for acceptance and approval
  • 2.6 Unplanned situations are dealt with safely and effectively in accordance with workplace procedures
3 Obtain design approval for WECS
  • 3.1 WECS design is presented and any issues clarified with client representative and/or relevant person/s
  • 3.2 Requests for alterations to the design are negotiated with relevant person/s within the constraints of workplace policies
  • 3.3 Final design is documented and approval obtained from relevant person/s
  • 3.4 Quality of work is monitored in accordance with relevant performance agreement and/or workplace procedures or industry standards
