Learning outcomes
After having passed the course the student should be able to:
- draw conclusions and apply spatial planning in wind energy development
- analyse and apply rules, regulations and permissions related to wind energy development
- analyse environmental impacts of wind energy utilisation, opposing interests and acceptance of wind power projects
- suggest and analyse financial incentives related to wind power projects
- identify and evaluate environmental impact in the optimisation of large wind farm projects
Content
The course covers spatial planning for wind energy development and wind power projects. Local, regional and national laws and permits are studied conceptually as to their influence on project success, with stress on the importance of good communication and acceptance among all stakeholders. Financial incentives and environmental considerations are evaluated for their potential effects in planning and on-schedule project execution.
Instruction
The course includes lectures, seminars, group and field work. Student attendance is compulsory at most scheduled events.
Assessment
Written hand-in assignments and oral presentation, 2.5 credits. Written examination, 2.5 credits.
