Construction of operation and maintenance team

1.Requirements for construction of operation and maintenance management organization
The operation and maintenance management organization needs to have a sound quality management system. The operation and maintenance management unit should establish an operation and maintenance management process and internal audit system that conform to the ISO-9001 quality management system certification.
At the same time, special personnel shall be assigned to be responsible for contacting with the power station operators and equipment manufacturers. When the power station fails, the operator can timely submit the problem to the relevant department, and also can notify the equipment manufacturer and maintenance personnel to the site for repair in the shortest time.

2.Professional classification of operation and maintenance personnel
The operation and maintenance management unit shall have professional technicians to carry out the operation and maintenance management of photovoltaic power station, and the criteria for setting the skills of personnel shall be based on the requirements for safe operation in the actual work process and the actual needs for skills. Professionals are required to have high-voltage work license, weak current engineer qualification certificate, maintenance electrician certificate and special operation certificate. Operation and maintenance professionals include:
(1) Electrical operation and maintenance personnel.
(2) High voltage operation and maintenance personnel.
(3) Data center operation and maintenance personnel.
(4) Structure operation and maintenance personnel.
(5) Other operation and maintenance personnel.

The skill setting criteria for operation and maintenance personnel are based on the requirements for safe operation and the actual needs for skills in the actual work process. In general, the requirements are as follows:
(1) The electrical operation and maintenance personnel shall hold the intermediate certificate of maintenance electrician.
(2) Weak current operation and maintenance personnel shall hold weak current work license.
(3) High voltage operation and maintenance personnel shall hold high voltage work license.
(4) The operation and maintenance personnel of the data center shall hold the National Computer Grade IV Certificate, Network Engineer Certificate and Database Engineer Certificate.
(5) Other operation and maintenance personnel shall hold special operation certificates (electricians).

3.Construction of training system for operation and maintenance personnel
The professional technicians of operation and maintenance shall be trained. In view of the key and difficult problems in operation and maintenance management, the internal training shall be organized for the technicians, and the technicians shall be sent out for systematic knowledge training to improve their professional skills.
The operators of the power station shall be trained to understand and master the basic principles of the photovoltaic power generation system and the functions of each equipment after the training, and shall be able to carry out routine maintenance of the power station as required, and have the ability to judge the causes of general faults and solve them.
Training for operation and maintenance personnel generally includes:
(1) Pre job safety training.
(2) Pre job operation and maintenance skills training.
(3) Annual on-the-job operation evaluation and retraining.
(4) Annual emergency plan drill training.
