Profile

Participation in the certificate 'Integration of Wind Power in the Electricity Supply System' requires the successful completion of the certificate 'Scientifically Oriented Fundamentals of Wind Energy Systems'.

The fluctuation and decentralized production of wind energy require complex solutions for successful grid integration. The 'Integration of Wind Power in the Electricity Supply System' certificate gives you the opportunity to study the increasingly important topic of integrating wind energy into the electricity supply system. The certificate focuses on the technical, administrative and legal barriers and challenges that need to be considered for the successful integration of wind power and other renewable energy and conventional technologies into the grid.

Qualification

The certificate 'Integration of Wind Power in the Electricity Supply System' is recommended for engineers who want to work for local or regional utilities, grid operators or consultant companies that deal with the planning and integration of wind farms and who want to specialize in the integration of wind energy. On the basis of wind power forecasting you learn how to optimize the scheduling of the conventional and renewable energies power stations mix. Another learning outcome is the planning of future electricity grids of power supply systems with a large amount of renewables.
