Training in action: Practical scenarios
Here are examples of how skills from the GWO Basic Technical Training (BTT) can be applied in the field:
-
Hydraulic System Repair
A team of wind turbine technicians, trained in GWO BTT, quickly diagnosed and repaired a malfunction in a turbine’s hydraulic yaw control. The skills they gained allowed them to restore functionality and prevent a potential incident. -
Electrical System Troubleshooting
After completing the GWO BTT course, a technician identified a short circuit in a control panel. Using their training, they quickly resolved the issue, minimising downtime and keeping operations on track.
These scenarios demonstrate how Maersk Training prepares wind energy professionals to respond effectively to technical challenges in real-world turbine operations.
