Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to coordinate scheduled servicing and maintenance of wind turbines on a wind farm.Scheduled maintenance is the process of optimising plant and equipment operations through regular inspections and verification of wind turbines for operational efficiency. Competency in this unit requires the ability to plan for scheduled maintenance, coordinate scheduled maintenance, respond to wind turbine breakdown, produce production and maintenance reports and make recommendations for dealing with wind turbine breakdowns. Individuals will, in general, work as a coordinator in an electrical, electronic and/or mechanical equipment repair workshop or on site. Power generation maintenance personnel are trained and authorised to receive permits to work. The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence/registration to practice in the workplace.
