Skills to be acquired in this module | After successful completion of the module students should be able to: - critically contribute to the discourse on wind energy design and simulation - explain and evaluate technical details of a wind energy converter - decide and to defend a design of a wind energy converter - recommend on technical details of a wind energy converter - transfer their knowledge to more complex topics such as simulation and measurements of dynamic loads - assess different aspects of wind energy farms by modelling, comparison, explanation of wind energy potential, wind energy farm’s output, power curves, wind energy project development - assess in detail influences of meteorological/climatological aspects on the performance of wind power systems - summarize physical processes governing atmospheric wind flows - value atmospheric boundary layer flow relevant for wind power conversion |
Module contents | Content of the module: The module accesses wind energy from a rather technical approach. Design of Wind Energy Systems (Lecture & Project ‑ 180 h workload) - Calculation of the aerodynamics of wind turbines using the blade element momentum theory, - Specific design situations for wind turbines, - Estimation of the influence of dynamics of a wind turbine, especially in the context of fatigue loads, - Aeroelastic simulation of wind turbines - Annual Energy Production (AEP) - Design of a commercial (equivalent) wind turbine Advanced Wind Energy Meteorology (Lecture ‑ 90 h workload) - Atmospheric Boundary Layer (turbulence, vertical structure, special BL effects) - Atmospheric Flow Modelling: Linear models, RANS & LES models - Wind farm modelling - Offshore-Specific Conditions - Resource Assessment & Wind Power Forecasting - Wind Measurements & Statistics Wind Energy Applications - from Wind Resource to Wind Farm Operations (Lecture ‑ 90 h workload) - Evaluation of Wind Resources
- Wake Effect and Wind Farm
