    Faculty: Faculty of Engineering, LTH
    Decided by: PLED M
    Date of Decision: 2023-04-11

    General Information
    Elective Compulsory for: MHET1
    Elective for: E4-em, F4, M4-en, W4-et
    Language of instruction: The course will be given in English

    Aim
    Electricity consumption in the world is increasing, both in terms of quantity and as a proportion of total energy consumption. Wind power has
    the potential to make a major contribution to the electricity generation and this with very low CO2 emissions.
    The course aims at providing insight in wind turbine design and operation as well as of atmospheric flows and the wind’s interaction with the
    turbines and their surroundings.
    The course describes the operation of the wind power plants, aero- and structural dynamics and control. Furthermore, wind and wind
    measurements and, more comprehensively, electrical, political, economic and environmental aspects are dealt with.

    Learning outcomes
    Knowledge and understanding
    For a passing grade the student must

    Describe wind power technology’s pros and cons (merits and limitations)
