Small-Scale Wind Turbine [Grid-Tied] Installation Course

Installing small-scale wind turbines that your customers can claim grant funding for through the Low Carbon Building Programme and 'Feed-in' Tariffs requires you to work to a high standard and to be registered onto an MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) register. 

These are big financial incentives that can halve your customer’s payback period and provide long term income for the owner. Along with your electrical experience and qualifications you must have technology specific training to become accredited on an MCS register.

 

Course Objective

This course will take an electrically competent individual a long way in 3 days. You will not only understand these systems but, like all of our courses, you get hands on with different types of turbines and leave here confident and competent to install grid-tied small wind turbines (up to 16A per phase) to MCS standards. Your next step after the course: get registered.

 

 Course Outline:

    The course will cover the following areas:

• Applicable Building Regulations
• Pre work survey/inspection
• (Consideration to) batteries/off-grid systems
• Siting for best performance
• Earthing and bonding requirements
• Wind Speed Surveying
• Recording of test results and completion of certification
• Electrical test procedures
• Structural Survey
• Electrical safety legislation, standards and terminology
• Hilti Chemical Fixing
• Fixing & Mounting Methods
• Installation of electrical components

Certification: ECO Certification       

Duration: 3 Days including theory, practical and assessment.

Location: Chesterfield, Derbyshire & Mitcham, Surrey.

Price: £595 +VAT (Course price includes examination entry fees, lunch and refreshments)

Entry Requirements: Electrical experience at least to Domestic Installer (Part P) standard. Other academic qualifications may be accepted, but please note this is an installation training course not an academic theory course. Those without any qualifications, but suitable experience may be eligible.

 

Noted exclusion from training & assessment: This course is not intended to cover roof or access work in detail but does cover the legislative requirements, risk assessment requirements and working at height requirement. Large stand-alone turbine groundworks are not covered and we would recommend seeking the services of a civil engineer contractor.
