TRAINING
Working closely with advisory member companies such as Hydac Technology Ltd and Shell UK, the NFPC staff have developed a training programme specifically aimed at the maintenance of the wind turbine.
Bridging the skills shortage and meeting demand
The NFPC (National Fluid Power Centre) has taken a lead for many years in the provision of training and up-skilling of the workforce to handle the ever-changing technology associated with hydraulic, electronics, pneumatics and control, much of which has led engineers and technicians to the provision of CETOP competence based qualifications, and wind energy is no exception.
Based upon their many years of experience, they know here at the NFPC that hands-on activities are the best way to develop skills and even better if the equipment is the “real thing”. They have installed fully operational hydraulic, lubrication and filtration systems for wind turbines to support the centre’s training programmes.
COMPLETE SYSTEMTRAINING PROGRAMMES AND CPD
The NFPC prides itself in providing 100% effective training packages that prepare people for the world of work and the wind turbine programme is no exception.
They are also very supportive of continued professional development and offer the opportunity for all attendees to advance and achieve a European Competence based qualification awarded by CETOP through the UKs leading fluid power trade association, the BFPA.
The future is “systems engineering” and a wind turbine is typical in which hydraulics, lubrication, contamination control, electronics and control are all brought together in one system and require systems based knowledge and skills to effectively manage and maintain.
Integrated Systems Engineering is now a major development at the NFPC and will contribute to all areas of renewable energy improving overall system performance through the performance of people.
