EG2040 Wind Power Systems 7.5 credits

Wind energy technology covers many technological aspects, like aerodynamics, mechanics, physics and electrical engineering. Hence, the course intends to provide a wide overview of, for example, the physical power in the wind, the historical development, the wind energy industry, market regulations, wind turbine design concepts, environmental impact of wind turbines, economics, network integration, stand-alone systems and offshore wind power systems.

An important part of the course is a team assignment. In this assignment, the team will perform a feasibility study for a wind energy project.

The course Wind Power Systems aims at providing knowledge about the wide area of technology that is needed for persons working in the wind energy industry or related industry, like generation or network companies. The course also provides a general knowledge in this wide area.

60 HEC (basic mechanics, basic physics, complex numbers, numerical methods), and documented proficiency in English B or equivalent.

Basic physics.
