This course is ideal both for those technicians involved in wind farm maintenance plans, without experience, who need to be introduced to vibration analysis and for managers who need to interpret a report made by an expert analyst.

The orientation of the course is practical and is based on the diagnosis of typical industrial plant machinery and wind turbine diagnostics. After this course, the analyst will master the technique to start performing his own machinery diagnostics and will learn elementary knowledge of vibration measurement setup.

*Prerequisites: No previous knowledge or experience is required.

* Get a discount if more than one person from the same company comes.

You can take only a part of this course:

• Introduction to vibration analysis and applications in Wind Turbines, more information
• Vibration analysis course Level II, more information

The objective of this course is to train the attendees so that they can begin to diagnose the most typical problems in rotating machinery such as unbalance, misalignment, backlash, bearing failures, gears, wind turbines, etc.

Attendees to this course will handle the diagnostic tables on the most common faults that are diagnosed by means of vibration spectral analysis and will know the applicable regulations for vibration analysis.

Practical examples of all failure modes will be shown and the applicable standards for diagnosis will be discussed.

Practical course:

• Introduction. Maintenance strategies and predictive techniques.
• Fundamentals of vibration. Trends, spectra, waveforms and phase.
• Fault diagnosis: unbalance, misalignment, looseness, belt faults, bearing faults, electric motors, hydrodynamic faults.
• Introduction to resonance.
• Bearing failures.
• Gear diagnostics.
• Applicable regulations.
• Diagnostic methodology.
• Case studies and examples of the different failure modes in wind turbines: Case resolution, configuration and detection of failure frequencies.
