Diagnose and Repair Faults in Wind Turbine Electrical Systems

Using real-world scenarios and turbine simulators, the course aligns with industry standards.

As Australia embarks on an energy transition, this course aims to equip people with the skills and knowledge required to work in the dynamic wind energy industry. 

This course equips learners with the essential knowledge and practical skills needed to diagnose and repair faults in wind turbine electrical systems. 

Covering a foundational understanding of wind energy, this course delves into the electrical components and control mechanisms integral to wind turbines. 

Students will explore key areas such as:

  • Power generation 
  • Grid integration 
  • Maintenance practices

This will provide the student with the insight into how electrical systems operate and interact within a wind turbine. 

Through a combination of theoretical learning and hands-on practice, students will develop the ability to troubleshoot, analyse, and repair faults to maintain optimal turbine performance and safety. 

This unit prepares learners to address real-world challenges in the wind energy sector, fostering both technical expertise and a strong commitment to sustainable energy practices.

On completion of this unit, you will be able to:

  1. Understand the Fundamentals of Wind Energy and Turbine Systems.
  2. Understand how to perform Grid Integration and Maintenance Practices.
  3. Develop Skills in Data Logging, Fault Analysis, and Technical Reporting.
  4. Interpret Maintenance Data and Formulate Fault Hypotheses.
  5. Apply Practical Troubleshooting and Safety Techniques in Real-World Scenarios.

When completed, students will receive an AMC Search "Certificate of Completion".
