Course Overview

The course cover the basics on wind turbine technology and calculation of energy potential in wind. The course is built such that the students work in groups to design a wind turbine model, consisting of both blades (Aerodynamics) and a generator (Electrotechnical). In addition to the design, a model is produced and tested.
