Course details
Advanced Wind Energy follows on from the previous module “Introduction to Wind Energy”. The course builds on the principles previously outlined and also introduces the student to wind energy analysis software packages.
As part of the course, the student will examine the methods used for wind turbine site selection. The fundamentals of wind farm design, including wind turbine layout and electrical design, energy production, turbine noise levels, turbine wake losses, and turbine suitability will be examined. Wind data collected on a specific site will be used for desktop analysis using industry standard software and this will help determine the suitability of a particular location for a wind farm. The course will be a mixture of laboratory based analysis and classroom theory.
COURSE CONTENT
