Modeling, Control and Design of Wind Energy Systems

What it is about

You will receive a comprehensive introduction to the physical and engineering fundamentals of wind energy plants (aerodynamics, dynamics, control and design). By the end you will be able to analyze wind turbine performance and dynamic behavior, explain typical control strategies and assess design decisions with regard to cost and performance.

What you will be able to do

• Understanding the key physical processes of energy conversion from wind
• Qualitative explanation of central phenomena in aerodynamics and aeroelasticity
• Quantitative estimation of performance and dynamic behavior
• Analysis of control strategies over the entire operating range
• Evaluation of design decisions and their impact on the cost of energy

What the module consists of

• VorlesungConveys the theoretical foundations on aerodynamics, dynamics, control and the design of wind energy systems
• Übung / ÜbungssitzungenDeepens and reinforces the lecture content through practical tasks and calculation or programming tasks

Teaching method

• Lehrvortrag mit Folien und gelegentlichen Anmerkungen auf TafelExplains the theoretical contents and provides examples from practice
• Übungssitzungen mit kurzen Wiederholungen und studentenzentrierter BearbeitungServe to apply what has been learned to practical problems and programs
• Lehrunterlagen (Vorlesungsnotizen, Übungsaufgaben, Programme und Datensätze)Ensure complete, independent learning and looking up information
