Course Description
This course include the following topics: general wind turbine functions and main turbine concepts, the momentum theory including Betz’ and Glauert’s optimum performance, general wind turbine aerodynamic equations, blade element momentum theory, using blade element momentum method to design an optimal blade design, experimental methods used both for field measurements and in wind tunnels, equations for wind tunnel corrections, fundamental wake dynamics, parameters that affect the wind farm power production, how icing affects the production, general wind meteorology (Forces, geostrophical balance, etc.), how the atmospheric boundary layer depends on stability and ground conditions, account for different wind energy utilization simulation methods and their limitations and when they are applicable, research Project.
