Contents
This advanced course provides foundational knowledge of wind energy principles, including wind turbine technologies and resource assessment methods. Students will learn to assess wind resources, perform calculations, and analyse the impact on energy production and efficiency. The course covers both onshore and offshore wind projects, and introduces wind modelling and forecasting tools. Practical applications, case studies and company visits support learning.
Tämä syventävä kurssi tarjoaa perustiedot tuulienergian periaatteista, mukaan lukien tuuliturbiinitekniikat ja resurssien arviointimenetelmät. Opiskelijat oppivat arvioimaan tuuliresursseja, tekemään laskelmia ja analysoimaan vaikutuksia energiantuotantoon ja tehokkuuteen. Kurssi kattaa sekä maa- että merituulihankkeet ja esittelee tuulen mallinnus- ja ennustetyökaluja. Käytännön sovellukset, tapaustutkimukset ja yritysvierailut tukevat oppimista.
