Welcome to Introduction to Wind Power (2021)
This course will be held as a virtual course in Zoom. 


Description: The course will provide training and education in the field of wind power engineering, including general knowledge of wind turbine systems, mainly covering the electrical aspects of wind turbine systems, including electrical machines, power electronics and power systems, etc. 
The PhD course will include basic knowledge of wind turbine systems, as well as electrical systems of wind power systems, and operation and control in power systems with high level wind power penetration. 
Some of the course contents are based on recently obtained research results.

The main topics are as follows: 
  • Overview of wind power development 
  • Wind energy and wind turbine systems 
  • Wind power generators 
  • Configuration and control of power electronic conversion system for wind energy conversion system 
  • Operation and control of wind turbines and wind farms 
  • Offshore wind power system 
  • Wind power plant design and optimisation 
  • Transmission system for offshore wind power plants 
  • Wind power integration to power grid 
  • Wind power impacts on power system stability and protection

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
