Wind Energy

Welcome to the course of Wind Energy. This course gives an overview of key aspects in wind energy engineering. Whether you are looking for general insight in this green technology or your ambition is to pursue a career in wind energy engineering, 'Wind Energy' is an excellent starting point. Experts located in the wind pioneering country of Denmark will take you on a tour through the most fundamental disciplines of wind energy research such as wind measurements, resource assessment, forecasting, aerodynamics, wind turbine technology, structural mechanics, materials, financial and electrical systems. You will gain a rational understanding of wind energy engineering and, through hands-on exercises, you will learn to perform wind energy calculations based on simple models. Working with the different course disciplines will give you a taste of what wind energy engineering is all about. This allows you to identify the most interesting or relevant aspects of wind energy engineering to be pursued in your future studies or in your professional career.

so much

Thank you so much Decent course, good overview over the subject.

Everything is clear ...Thank you so much excellent point of view about this kind of energy and general aspects related to that The course is really good.

Enjoyed the course so much, planning to do it again later this year!

It was a great course, very informative, I learned so much about wind energy.

Thanks you so much for this course.

thanks so much The contents of this course are outstanding and represent the state of the art.

This course is so helpful for me and I learn so much in this course Informative EXCELLANT Great course.

I gained so much knowledge from this course.I'm very thankful to the professors.

Very interesting course, which knowledge you can use directly if you have the luck to work with wind turbines very good course Thanks so much for the course...

Thank you so much it was a very wonderful course.

Thank you, it was so much clarifying to me in so many aspects regarding wind turbines in general.

really enjoyed

Really enjoyed being part of this amazing course.

Excellent Introductory course about wind turbine technology I really enjoyed this course.

I really enjoyed the aerodynamic section and look forward to more advance modules if any do happen to put out.

I really enjoyed!

Otherwise I really enjoyed the class and the information presented.

I really enjoyed.

This course was great and is the ice bergs of wind turbine Greta content but the quiz sections need a better layout It is very informative and standard I really enjoyed this course, it is so interesting.

de la

i love this course muy completo, te lleva por todas las partes de la generacion eolica nice course complete basics in lecture and real time problems in quiz help to understand concept better It's a great course, many engineering topics Very nice course!

Es un buen curso para introducirse en el mundo de la energía eólica.

El curso es muy completo, al finalizar se manejarán muchos conceptos desde el manejo del proyecto de la planta energética hasta el cálculo de resistencia en los álabes del rotos.

En mi opinión, es un curso que vale totalmente la pena hacer, con el fin de introducirse en el mundo de la energía eólica y conocer conceptos nuevos.100% recomendable Good Course Muy buena introducción al tema de la Energía Heólica.

Excelente y muy completo curso sobre Energia Eolica a traves de una de las universidades mas prestigiosas de uno de los paises pioneros y de mayor desarrollo de esta energia renovable en el mundo.

Éste curso me ha gustado mucho, soy estudiante y siempre me han llamado la atención las energías renovables y en especial la energía eólica;creo que es un excelente curso introductorio muy bueno,brinda fundamentos de la tecnología eólica y es llevado a cabo de manera muy entendible.

little bit

Some topics are a little bit rushed and I wish they were better explained.

i learn a lot of things from this course, good course............................ sometimes hard sometimes a little bit easier but always interesnting, gives a good overview about the subject and if you believe that the future of the energy is renewable you should do this course.

It is a little bit too basic but of great quality.

For my expectations it was a little bit too simple, but mostly the quizzes were too easy.

Would be better to go a little bit deeper Very good introduction to wind energy basic concepts.

Very Good Cousre Some concepts were a little bit confusing.

will help

It will help you to decide which path or department you want to go deeper (Site surveying, Measurement devices, Economy, Structural Analysis, Material and Electrical).

It will help to improve basic design aspects of wind turbine.

I think this will help the person who is really interested in wind energy and make the one to learn and go further in wind energy area.

I am learning useful concepts I think it will help me in the future as an intro to study a Msc in Wind Energy Great introduction to various aspects of wind power.
