Requirements

  1. Background knowledge in statistics and probability is recommended, similar to the content of the courses 02402 and 02406 at DTU. It is also assumed that the students are already familiar with basic wind energy topics as the ones taught in course 46300, and are able to use the Python programming language. Based on these requirements, it is recommended that the course is taken during the second year of M.Sc. studies.

Teaching And Assessment

The course begins with lectures and exercises introducing the basic concepts. The lectures are supplemented with digital learning resources such as videos and Python notebooks. Oral examination and exercises: All assignments must be handed in and passed. The grade of the course is based on the oral exam, final project report and one selected exercise (overall assessment). Oral exam consists of a short presentation of final report and answering of questions.
