About the course
In the course, you will learn how to make energy calculations using the Wind Atlas Programme windPRO together with the WAsP module. You will learn how to input data such as maps, wind statistics, and information on roughness and heights as well as how these can be used in the calculations and interpreting results. The evaluation of the quality of input data is also reviewed. Optimisation calculations are performed in windPRO for a single wind turbine as well as for a wind farm within the criteria of finding the best possible energy production while causing the lowest environmental impact. The suitability of the choice of turbine and its placement will be evaluated using the results of noise and shadow calculations.
The course is in English but written hand-in assignments can be submitted in Swedish.
Outline for distance course: The course is given as a online course. Assignments are submitted in the e-classroom online and you will receive personal feedback from the teacher. A forum for discussion is available. To participate in the course you will need a computer with internet connection.
