Description

This course covers the three different fields contributing in wind power extraction (Mechanical, electrical and civil). The mechanical part presents wind power principals and technologies modeling wind power machinery, the fabrication of different types of turbine and their mechanical industrial standards.
The other part of the course explains the wind turbine generators types and converter maximum power extraction of WT control of wind turbine in different mode of operation off and on-grid connected civil construction constraints and installation of wind farm economics of wind energy.rn
