This skill-up will create job-ready technicians in a sector increasingly driven by electronics, automation, and data systems.
Tata Power has onboarded POWERCON CORE Academy to run a customised training programme for its renewable energy workforce, with a clear focus on wind turbine operations and maintenance (O&M).
The Company notified the programme is built as a three-layer ‘sandwich’ model and leans heavily on both electronics and field engineering aspects of modern wind systems.
The first phase, according to the company, is classroom-heavy phase which will cover safety protocols, plant architecture, turbine systems, and balance-of-plant (BoP) functions.
The second phase will take trainees to live site exposure, where they will work on operational turbines.
The final layer goes into component-level troubleshooting, including PCB-level repairs, turbine control systems, remote command operations, and data-driven asset performance management.
Key part of the training will happen at POWERCON’s engineering facilities, where simulation tools are used for turbine control and power flow analysis.
Learners will be getting exposure in handling multi-GW wind, solar, and battery storage assets as well.
According to Tata Power, India’s wind sector has a major talent gap, with an estimated requirement of ~150,000 skilled workers by 2030.
Paresh Sahasrabudhe, Head – O&M (Wind) at TATA Power said, “The extensive knowledge pool on the state-of-the-art RE technologies and domain expert trainers at CORE Academy help augment the RE workforce’s technical capabilities as we continue to expand our RE portfolio”.
Bharat Sharma, COO of CORE said, “Our Company stands as a unique proposition to build capacity for RE skilled job ready professionals to support India’s ambition of 900 GW of Clean Energy by 2035”.
