The course will involve the theoretical and practical aspects of wind power generation, in the context of small-scale wind power technology. From a basic grounding in wind power conversion processes, students will be introduced to advanced knowledge of wind turbine design and performance. Aspects of the course include wind speed measurement and analysis for power generation, energy storage, economics and safety and environmental issues. A general knowledge of developments in these areas at national, regional and international levels will also form part of the course. Case studies based on an actual wind turbine will be used to enhance knowledge in the theoretical part of this course.
