Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to undertake maintenance of wind turbine generator mechanical systems.Undertaking maintenance is the process of optimising power generation plant and equipment operations through regular inspections and verification of wind turbine generator mechanical system operational efficiency. Competency in this unit requires the ability to plan work, conduct maintenance on wind turbine generator mechanical systems and complete all work tasks. Individuals will, in general, work under supervision in an electrical, electronic and/or mechanical equipment repair workshop or on site. Power generation maintenance personnel are typically trained and authorised to receive permits to work. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Note: Workplace practiceThe application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit of competency may require a licence or training permit to practice in the workplace, where work is carried out on gas and electrical installations. Additional and/or other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements.
