Introduction to Wind Power (Generation and Integration) (2026)

Welcome to Introduction to Wind Power (Generation and Integration)

Description:

Description: especially offshore wind, and the associated technical challenges of integrating variable and inverter-based generation into the power grid. The course offers a broad overview of wind turbine systems and dives into critical technical components including generators, power electronics, control strategies, grid requirements, and system optimization, AI applications. Selected content is based on recent research contributions in the field.

Including learning objectives: By the end of the course, participants should be able to:

• Understand the structure and operation of wind turbine systems, and special situations of offshore wind power plants
• Describe key electrical components, such as generators and power electronic converters
• Analyze the operation and control of wind farms and their integration into power systems
• Understand the impacts of wind power on power system
• Gain insight into current trends and AI/ML applications in wind power engineering

Prerequisites: 

Participants should preferably have general knowledge in electrical engineering, including familiarity with power systems, electrical machines, and basic control concepts.
