Course Introduction
This course introduces students to wind power generation and wind turbine design
technologies. A wind turbine is a composite technology requiring specialist knowledge and
skills from fields such as aerodynamics, composite structures, structural dynamics, mechanical
engineering and control engineering etc. In this course delegates will be introduced to the
basic knowledge from each discipline relevant to the design and operation of wind turbines.
This course gives an overview of the key aspects in wind energy engineering. This course is an
excellent introduction to wind energy for practicing energy engineers.
