60 credits in wind power project management including Wind Power Energy Calculations, 7.5 credits, Wind Power Planning and Permission, 7.5 credits, and Wind Power Installation, Operations and Maintenance, 7.5 credits.
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
In this course the student will work independently with the task of doing a feasibility study for a wind power project. This includes energy production calculations and estimate economic potentials for the project. Wind resources, conflicting interests, environmental impacts and other relevant aspects will be addressed. The result is presented in a final report with the documentation of the project process as well as reflections on the project's development.
Instruction
The course is given as a net-based course. Assignments are submitted to the e-classroom on Internet and the student will receive personal feedback by the teacher. A forum for discussion is 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.
