Learning outcomes
After approved course the student should be able to:
- describe the most common turbine mechatronics design concepts,
- analyse the loads of a wind turbine from a mechanical standpoint,
- describe foundation and tower types and analyse their application,
- identify and analyse suitability of different wind turbines in different spatial environmental settings.
Content
Material covered includes functional concepts of turbine technical systems, operations and maintenance. Wind turbine mechanics, dynamics and fatigue are topics in the course material. Aspects of the construction of wind turbine components in relation to the site conditions are studied.
Instruction
Lectures, seminars, group and field work.
Assessment
Written hand-in assignments 3.0 credits and a written project report with oral presentation 2.0 credits.
