Learning outcomes
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- find and evaluate a site for a wind power project establishment
- use planning methods, WBS, GANTT, for the planning of a wind power project process
- describe a feasibility study for the development of a wind power project
- account for necessary steps in the wind power project development process considering existing legislation
- perform and analyse production calculations and estimate the economical conditions for a wind power project
- discuss, compare and analyse opposing interests and environmental aspects
Content
A feasibility study in the project development process for a wind power project establishment is accounted for. The student performs and analyses energy production calculations and estimates the economical conditions for the project while wind resources, opposing interests and environment are examples of aspects that are explored. Documentation and follow-up of the work process of the project assignment are included and also studies with the student's reflections on existing wind power projects during course duration.
Instruction
The course is given as a net-based course. Assignments are submitted to the e-classroom on the Internet and the student is given personal feedback by the tutor. A forum for discussion is also available.
Assessment
Written hand-in assignments and a written project report which is also examined by an oral presentation.
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
