This course is an introductory level course to introduce general information about wind turbine technology. The contents of the course are
- General introduction to wind turbine system
- Aerodynamics
- Structural design
- Structural dynamics
- Electrical systems
- Wind turbine control
- Wind turbine loads

After the course, you will be able to describe a wind turbine system, its components and how it works. En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:

• Describe the basic components of a wind turbine
• Describe a steady Blade Element Momentum (BEM) method to model the aerodynamic forces on a rotor
• Apply a steady BEM
• Describe a typical blade structure
• Explain main load cases and criteria for structural design of blades
• Distinguish between various types of wind turbines
• Explain the electrical design and control of the basic wind turbine types
• Design a maximum power point tracking controller for a wind turbine

You will learn general wind turbine technology covering general introduction of wind turbine, aerodynamics, loads, composite structure, structural dynamics, electrical systems, control. A quiz session with module multiple choices will be given after each lecture. After the course you will be able to explain a wind turbine system. 20. august, 2018
