Wind Energy Converter Systems

The 'Wind Energy Converter Systems' certificate focuses on the design, development and management of turbine technology, wind turbines and wind farms. It provides knowledge of classical and newly developed wind turbine components. Design and analysis methods for modern onshore and offshore foundations, towers, rotor blades and nacelle systems are taught. The different sections of planning, management, administration of wind turbines and wind farms complete the profile of wind engineers responsible for projects.

The certificate in 'Wind Energy Converter Systems' focuses on engineering, planning and managing aspects of wind turbine technology, wind turbines and wind farms. It provides knowledge about classic and recently developed wind turbine components. Design and analysis methods for modern on- and offshore foundations, towers, rotor blades and nacelle systems will be taught. Modules about planning, management and the administration of wind turbines and wind parks will round off the course.

Selection of 30 credits:

Participants of this certificate program will learn the state-of-the-art technology of wind energy system components and the concepts of the relevant technologies. Based on this they will be able to develop high quality standard components and they will also have the ability to overcome the current technical limitations of these wind turbine elements. These engineers are able to design modern, energy efficient, economical and reliable foundations, towers, rotor blades and nacelle systems, and to invent related new design concepts and technologies. Encouraged by their competence in planning, managing and administrative aspects, students are well equipped for leading positions in the field of wind turbine development and construction, as well as for the operation and maintenance of wind energy systems.
