MBWIND’S INSPECTION, REPAIR AND UPGRADE WIND TURBINE BLADES TRAINING PROGRAM IN VIETNAM
With the belief that people are the core to creating company values, MBWIND has constantly improved and enhanced the quality of the experts and technician team. Moreover, we always want to bring true value to customers, cooperating partners, and the community. That is the reason why we regularly organize professional training sessions, and operational training to improve the level of our human resources. And the “Inspection, Repair and Upgrade Wind Turbine Blades Training Program in Vietnam” is also one of the crucial training subjects at MBWIND.
MBWIND’s Inspection, Repair and Upgrade Wind Turbine Blades Training Program in Vietnam
As one of the pioneers in the field of wind turbine repair and maintenance services in particular and overall wind farm services in Vietnam in general, MBWIND always focuses on human resource training. And that is also the main subject of our “Inspection, Repair and Upgrade Wind Turbine Blades Training Program in Vietnam“.
The training program revolved around the main topics, including:
- Wind turbine inspection
- Chemicals recognition and mixing
- LEP painting
- Blade structure checking
- Suspended platform setup
- Blade Cleaning
- Hub – Nacelle cover repairing
In which, at each subject, the participating engineers would review the theoretical system overall as well as practice with the guidance of expert teams who are leading domestic and foreign experts.
Some outstanding activities of the Wind Turbine Blades Training Program can be reviewed such as:
Surface Inspection and Damage Assessment Training:
Observing, noticing, and evaluating situations is not only the first but also the most important step which orientates the process following. As for structural, or aesthetic defects, most preliminary conclusions could be drawn through surface inspection and visual damage assessment. Engineers could synthesize their own insights and practice visualizing the surface and assessing damage through practical exercises, and actual damaged model samples.
Wind Turbine Blades Repair Training:
This is considered one of the core contents for training, so we focused on the Wind Turbine Repair subject throughout the training course. Starting from the basic theoretical system, we guided guide participants to build and improve their critical thinking ability through theory and practice with a variety of illustrative situations.
Wind Turbine External Structure Repair Training
Wind turbine blades are originally made of composite materials, which are a combination of enmeshing plastics (polymers) with other materials (often fibers) to form an advanced matrix. Despite being protected by surface coatings and other heat-resistant waterproofing protection layers, the wind turbine blades are still very vulnerable because of the surrounding environment. Therefore, the repair the wind turbine blade’s external structure is also one of the most important issues in wind turbine repair and maintenance process.
Repair the Internal Structure of the Turbine Wind Training:
Whereas the external structural defect directly affects the wind turbine blade’s operation, the failure of the internal structure is the factor that affects the efficiency and capacity of the wind turbine. And that is also the training purpose of MBWIND’s internal structure repair course.
Besides technical knowledge, engineers were also supplemented with knowledge of construction safety principles, working environment protection, construction ethics… and other related subjects.
MBWIND’s Wind Turbine Inspection and Repair Training Course Outcome:
After completing the training course, MBWIND’s engineers were able to equip themselves with a relative amount of knowledge and reap certain attainments. In particular, the knowledge gained after the training course can be divided into the following certification levels:
Level 1 certification
+ At level 1, trained engineers have the knowledge to:
- Understanding the general construction description of WTG blades
- Understanding the involved health risks when handling polyester, epoxy and isocyanates
- Use the correct terms when approaching blades
- Recognize different types of defects and damage
- Evaluation and classification of defects and damage
+ And have the capacity to:
- Proficiently inspect of Turbine Wings with the naked eye, camera, rope, manipulator platform or crane
- Visually inspect the surface in detail. Use tools to check for further damage by sanding to remove damaged paint/gelcoat, and visually inspect coatings and bonded joints.
- Repair minor cosmetics on surface coatings
- Report the wind turbine condition for every phase
Level 2 certification
At Level 2, engineers would get qualify for the following duty:
- Inspect internal and external structures, assess and classify damage on the turbine blade surface.
- Reading comprehension and using properly information from:
+ The Turbine Brand’s working instructions
+ Technical datasheet
- Repair Turbine blades surface for all types, including:
+ Cover and laminate down the core or first two layers of fiberglass.
+ Double-layer headband.
+ Maximum horizontal edge 50 mm.
+ Replace and check the lightning receiver
+ Replace stall strips, vortex generators and LE tapes
- Fill out inspection reports and documentation of damage and repairs.
What Did the Training Program Gain?
Through the training program, MBWIND’s engineers have achieved proud outcomes and equipped themselves with new knowledge and skills, including:
-
- Because MBWIND engineers were well-trained and gained global wind turbine blade inspection certificates, they could perceive the blade structure and the crucial locations which need to be inspected inside.
- Through actual exercise and implemented projects, our engineering team could inspect blades and turbines quickly and accurately that increasing progress and shortening customers’ turbine downtime.
- MBWIND engineers who got the Level 2 repair certificates can immediately give advice to customers on repair options to avoid more serious damage.
- MBWIND can provide a package service of Inspection- Repair – Upgrade Turbine Wind Blades, which has full package services, bringing economic efficiency to customers.
As a young unit, we are constantly fostering and perfecting ourselves to keep up with the pace in the wind power industry. Striving to become the customers’ first choice for installation, transportation and maintenance wind farm services in Vietnam and the region.
