Abstract
The technological iteration and scaling up of the wind power industry are placing higher demands on the professional competence of practitioners. In the early days, most wind power operation and maintenance personnel were transferred from traditional power industry roles and lacked specialized knowledge and skills in wind power, making it difficult for them to meet the operational and maintenance needs of new-generation wind turbine units. Industry statistics show that China currently faces a shortage of more than 100,000 specialized professionals in the wind power sector, with a particularly acute shortage of high-end talent possessing smart wind farm operation and maintenance capabilities.
To address the shortage of skilled personnel, the wind power industry has gradually established a three-tier training system comprising “university education + enterprise training + on-the-job development.” In terms of university education, more than 50 universities nationwide have set up wind power-related majors, cultivating specialized talent in areas such as wind power design, manufacturing, and operation and maintenance. Meanwhile, vocational colleges are collaborating with wind power enterprises to establish practical training bases and adopt an “order-based” training model, enabling students to quickly meet job requirements upon graduation.
In-house training has become an important means of enhancing the skills of employees. Large wind power enterprises have generally established comprehensive internal training systems, tailoring differentiated training programs to suit various job roles. Training for operations and maintenance positions covers topics such as wind turbine structure, control systems, and fault diagnosis, and adopts a “theoretical instruction plus hands-on practice” approach to ensure that O&M personnel are capable of performing tasks independently. According to training data from a certain wind power enterprise, O&M personnel who have undergone systematic training have seen a 40% increase in fault-handling efficiency and a 25% reduction in equipment failure rates.
The application of new technologies has made training models more efficient and diverse. VR/AR simulation training systems have become an important tool for wind power training, enabling trainees to practice high-risk tasks such as turbine installation and fault repair in a virtual environment. This approach not only ensures training safety but also significantly enhances training effectiveness. Online training platforms, meanwhile, have eliminated time and space constraints, allowing professionals to access the latest technical knowledge and operational guidelines anytime, anywhere via their mobile phones or computers. Since its launch one year ago, a certain online training platform has attracted 50,000 registered users, with total training hours exceeding 100,000.
