About the Course

Welcome to the course of Wind Energy. This course gives an overview of key aspects in wind energy engineering. Whether you are looking for general insight in this green technology or your ambition is to pursue a career in wind energy engineering, 'Wind Energy' is an excellent starting point. Experts located in the wind pioneering country of Denmark will take you on a tour through the most fundamental disciplines of wind energy research such as wind measurements, resource assessment, forecasting, aerodynamics, wind turbine technology, structural mechanics, materials, financial and electrical systems. You will gain a rational understanding of wind energy engineering and, through hands-on exercises, you will learn to perform wind energy calculations based on simple models. Working with the different course disciplines will give you a taste of what wind energy engineering is all about. This allows you to identify the most interesting or relevant aspects of wind energy engineering to be pursued in your future studies or in your professional career.

Very useful and practical course. The teachers introduced the basic knowledge related to wind energy in every area. Plus the materials introduced out-of-class, I have a overall view about wind energy.

This course grows from simplicity to medium complex ones with more emphasis given to rotor blade, need more focus on wind turbine electricals - power conversion, generator design and tower structure

you have to give a lot of efforts specially after week 2 because of numericals but you at the same time your data analysis skills will improve. Informative and at the same time a bit tough course.

Very good overall. The explanations and the supporting materials were very clear. I would rate 5/5 if it included some detailed animations about key elements of the WT (gearbox, generator, etc.).

It was a great introduction to wind energy, i feel like i need to delve deeper into certain topics to be ready to work in the field but this was a huge step into being in it as a professional.

The course covers many important and interesting topics, but at the same time as covering many topics, the explanation is usually short and very introductory. it is still a recommended course.

Very nice learning material and lectures. The exercises are challenging but delightful to do it. Some material and videos could be improved - more detail, but very good learning experience.

Es un buen curso para introducirse en el mundo de la energía eólica. No es muy específico pero cubre un amplio abanico de conceptos: económicos, estructurales, energéticos, eléctricos...

good basic knowledge but some of the assessments were too much filling in formulas instead of getting a feeling of the order of magnitude of major variables impacting energy production.

outstanding course ! provide a brief insight into how wind turbines come to be right from inception to decommission

although i felt the teaching presentation layout was a bit confusing

Excellent course materials to study wind energy.

It seems to me both video and course materials are too brief, and then to handle the assignment with a lot of figure / calculations.

It's a great introduction into the study of wind energy, and for me a great way to get back into some mathematics that I haven't used since my undergraduate degree. Very enjoyable.

I think that some concepts were not approached in the course, but from general point of view, this is a good introduction to a great part of the whole supply chain of wind energy.

Very good and informative, the instructors are apparently new to teach in front of a camera, they will be better in time. I look forward to an advanced course from the same team.

It is a good introduction to the subject and I have learned a lot. However, in several parts of the course I expected more detailed explanations. Maybe an extra week would help.

Everything was up to the mark. Lessons of week 4 and week 5 proved to be helpful for me. Some instructor's sound were not enough clear. I expected more aerodynamic depth here.

The explanations were good but it would help if there was a section for examples and practice questions and also a platform to clear doubts and questions after each lecture

There is a great theory in the slides and videos.

To have more practical numbers and examples from real time would increase the understanding of a few complicated topics.

Great basic intro to wind stuff. At a helpful level of difficulty and avoids the humdrum of spruiking the benefits of wind energy and gets into the hows and wherefores!

Decent course, good overview over the subject. Sometimes the instructors could have done a better job at tying the specific topics back to the high-level perspective..
