This course covers wind energy from the physics of the wind to electricity generation. It explains the Betz limit, rotor design and the probability functions used to describe wind data, then moves through turbine control strategies, generator types, tower designs and braking systems.
Electrical engineering students and engineers preparing a wind feasibility study will find the content relevant. The emphasis on wind data and feasibility makes it a good fit for anyone deciding whether a site justifies a turbine.
The 231-page set of slides is a useful companion for revision after the lessons.
