Learning outcomes
The learning outcome of the course is insight in to the configuration of wind turbine systems by appropriate match of rotor characteristics, generator characteristics and control strategy.
The successful candidate will have knowledge of the state-of-the-art of wind turbine systems design.
The successful candidate will have knowledge of operational characteristics of differently designed systems in view of their integration into energy supply systems.
Contents
The course presents a number of selected topics within state-of-the-art turbine design.
Emphasis is on the match of the aerodynamic properties of the rotor and the electromechanical properties of generator. The course will contain selected topics from the following list:
- rotor design in view of optimal efficiency versus robust operational characteristics
- generator concepts for variable speed operation
- grid interference of difference of different rotor/generator concepts
