Description | |||
Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to conduct a shutdown of a hydro turbine to where it can be placed at rest safely.Shutdown of a hydro turbine will involve the operator making a sequence of checks prior to and during shutdown. This ensures that the shutdown of the turbine is completed in a safe and consistent manner.Competency in this unit requires the ability plan and prepare hydro turbine shut down, conduct a shutdown, test hydro turbine plant operation during shut down, analyse hydro turbine system faults during shutdown and complete documentation. Individuals will, in general, work under supervision, in a power generation facility as an operator.Power generation plant operators are typically trained and authorised to isolate, prepare plant and issue permits to work.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Note: Workplace practiceThe application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence or training permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on gas and electrical installations. Additional conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements. | ||
