Organizer: Professor, Zhe Chen zch@energy.aau.dk , Aalborg University

Lecturers: Professor Zhe Chen, Assistant Professor Yanbo Wang, Post doc. Fellow Kaiqi MA, Aalborg University, Denmark

ECTS: 4

Date/Time: 12-15 February 2024 / 8:30-16:00

Deadline: 18 January 2024

Place: AAU Energy, Pontoppidanstraede 101, Aalborg, Denmark

Max no. of participants: 30

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 of wind power systems. 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
• Stability modelling and analysis of wind power system
• Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine learning (ML) applications in wind power

Prerequisites: Preferably to have general knowledge in electrical engineering.

Price:  6000 DKK for PhD students outside of Denmark and 8000 DKK for the Industry excl. VAT. 
A link for online payment by credit card for externals participants will be annonced after deadline for registration

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.
