Recently, WorldSkills organization has confirmed Renewable Energy competition standard and released technical description. In the page 18, 19, it has been clearly stated that the wind power generation uses Festo’s Nacelle Wind Turbine Learning Systems.
This year, the 32nd Summer Olympic Games is ongoing. The number of Gold medals in China increases steadily. When you are watching the Olympic athletes competing fiercely to win gold medals, you may have started to imagine a cheering moment for the next competition? Here is another one.
Next year, Oct 12nd -17th, known as the “Skill Olympics”, the 46th WorldSkills competition is going to be held in Shanghai, attracting worldwide young skill talents.
New skill competition will always be the most attractive to all participants. As one of nine new skill competitions of the 46th WorldSkills competition, this time, let’s know about Renewable Energy competition.
Renewable Energy is central to solving our current climate crisis and ensuring the health and growth of future economies. It uses a wide range of sources to supply power, from wind and water to solar power, organic matter, and even geothermal heat from the earth’s core. It is the role of a Renewable Energy Technician to ensure the equipment for collecting, generating, or distributing power from their sources is properly maintained and operates efficiently.
Recently, WorldSkills organization has confirmed Renewable Energy competition standard and released technical description. In the page 18, 19, it has been clearly stated that the wind power generation uses Festo’s Nacelle Wind Turbine Learning Systems.
The EDS Nacelle is a complete scaled-down version of commercial wind turbine nacelles, making it a highly cost-effective and comprehensive training solution. The EDS? Nacelle – Wind Power Generation consists of a complete drive train including the main shaft, a gearbox, speed sensors, its own hydraulic system, hydraulic brake, and an asynchronous generator. The yaw system is fully operational. A manual hydraulic pump and an accumulator, as found in real-world wind turbines, are also included. Users are able to fully interact with this space-efficient and affordable trainer, enhancing the learning experience of trainees.
As a global partner of WorldSkills International, Festo also will continues partnership from equipment to technical support. Therefore, it is our responsible and obligation to provide renewable energy project with specific training and training system, The EDS? Nacelle – Wind Power Generation. In accordance with technical description of WorldSkills competition standards, it contains the wind turbine Nacelle of wind energy into electrical energy (transmission) hydraulic brake system Wind turbine operation methods, power systems, and maintenance and troubleshooting.
In addition to renewable energy competition, Festo continues partnership as a Platinum Sponsor of WorldSkills Shanghai 2022 in four WSI skill competitions: Mechatronics, Water Technology, Industry 4.0 and Industrial Mechanics, and additional activities related.
