Course Structure and Curriculum

The master course in Wind Engineering will start in winter semester 2008/09 and comprises

three semesters.

All lectures, laboratory training, project works and examinations are held in English.

The course is taught on a modular basis. The studies are held on two Campuses, Flensburgand Kiel (University of Applied Sciences). The summer lectures are held in Flensburg, the

winter lectures take place in Kiel. It is possible to start the study either at the Flensburg

Campus in summer or at the Kiel Campus (University of Applied Sciences) in winter. The

first two semesters are interchangeable.

Credit Points: 5Requirements: Basics in wind turbine systems

Basics in wind energy theoryAims: Third party measurements and certification has become a common issue while

selling and buying wind turbines world wide. With this approach quality andreliability of wind turbines is secured for a long lifespan of the machine.Throughout the measurements the characteristics of a wind turbine like powerperformance, noise emission, grid quality are assessed and the loadassumptions for the design approval are validated.

These characteristics are input to the certification process, including designappraisal, quality checks, control of components and sub-suppliers as well asperiodic monitoring within the lifetime of the wind turbine until the end of thelifespan.Students will learn about the system of accreditation and certification, aboutmeasurements and standardisation. This is always connected to practicalexperience from the work of the lecturers, interpreting the results of the workbased on the knowledge of theoretical basics of wind engineering.In the project work the students will handle easy measurement cases orperform steps in the certification process. The excursions to the premises ofWINDTEST will give a deep insight into the engineering work of a accreditedmeasurement laboratory which has clients worldwide. In the workshop typical

measurement equipment can be handled.Contents: Characteristics of wind turbinesMeasurements of characteristics of wind turbinesCertification processMarket relevance
