Content

Qualifies students for employment in the international wind energy sector. The specialisation focuses issues like Wind potential, Aerodynamics, Loading of Wind turbines, Wind turbine design, Electrical and control issues, Wind farm design, economics and environmental issues. Additionally, students develop skills in the use of simulation tools to analyse problems related to the design of wind turbines and the development of wind farms.

The Wind Energy specialisation is taught mostly by professors from the Renewable Energy Sources Unit (RENES), The Wind Energy Laboratory (WEL) and the School of Mechanical Engineering. The Centre for Renewable Energy Sources (CRES) also contributes to the course through teaching and use of their laboratories. Individual seminars are held by representatives of the industry and visiting professors. During the semester the students have the opportunity to visit Wind Parks and the prernises of CRES
