About the course
The course gives an overview of the function of wind turbines and its technical sub systems including aerodynamics, mechanics, generator systems and control systems. The course gives also an overview of wind resource estimation. Meteorological and aerodynamic theories as well as mechanical loads are essential parts of the course content. Different wind energy calculation and measurement methods will be addressed and critically evaluated to give the student the knowledge and the tools to choose methods according to the requirements of a specific situation. A part of the course is training in wind energy calculation software like WindPRO, where theoretical knowledge is applied and develop practical skills. Choice and configuration of wind turbine as well as its placement with respect to physical conditions and other restrictions of the site is studied.
