Very good course in that it introduces you thoroughly to the basic concepts of wind energy. By the end of it, I think I was able to participate in a conversation with specialists and I could get myself immersed into the particular areas if I chose to. There are some inconsistencies within the lectures, plus it was some times difficult to follow the lecturers. I saw that some colleagues were able to get help through the online chat room which was also providing additional material to study. To understand the concepts related to aerodynamics and solve the problems you need to have studied similar concepts before, in say fluid dynamics or pumps and turbines. I believe that someone without an engineering or physics background would not be able to complete the course.

Overall, I was very satisfied I took the course and I would recommend it to others.

It was a very good course, however, I think there are some points that need to be fixed: - For example, in some modules, the exam had nothing to do with the taught material, or in one module, the teacher worked hard to teach in two videos, but the exam was taken from a book, some of these inconsistencies were annoying. - In my opinion, guidance should be given to solve calculation questions, or the teacher should solve a sample problem in the video so that the learner is familiar with how to solve the questions. - The English subtitles had some inconsistencies in some episodes, but they can be ignored - I hope that DTU will take a course for each topic so that the subject is explained in a specialized way, not like this brief and introductory course.

Excellent course. I suggest that in a few quizzes you were asking to get the numbers off the slides in the video. It is very difficult to read the numbers off the video. Can you instead add the slides in the quiz PDF file? All the information required to answer the quizzes should be in the PDF file.

The course material was very good. The problem sets were very good too because of real life data. The rigor of courses was average. I can understand why you do not want to make the course more rigorous. However, it would help advanced engineering students to go through a more rigorous course.

The course was really good, challenging, I've learned a lot, from wind introduction, to technologies, materials, different types of turbines, aerodynamics, the structure and electric systems, and the wind itself and its measurements. Sometimes examples were missing and some topics were not fully explained but in general is a well made course. I liked the engagement of videos with lectures and quizzes, you feel the progress. I want to thank all the professors involved in this course, many thanks to the technical university of Denmark and coursera for giving me this opportunity.

Overall the course is really good because the quizes make you use the formulas explained throughout the video lessons and is then when you actually learn a lot. The lessons are good in general but an improvement in the quality of the explanations would be appreciated, even though the objective of the course is not to get to deep into the concepts, better ways to explain some of these can be found. Anyway, I learned a lot and further reading material was pointed and in some cases provided, so I'm really thankful to DTU for making this course.

This course is perfect for beginners in Wind Energy. However, if the person is not from an engineering background it might be very challenging. The knowledge you receive at this price is incomparable.

Regarding the course, it would have been 5 start course if there were some numerical examples. Also, detailed material explaining the background of the formula development in few topics as it might be very difficult to understand for people having less engineering background.

Nevertheless, I really enjoyed it as it was very challenging.

It's a very comprehensive course that introduces various aspects of wind energy. Generally, it's an excellent course, and it's rare to find similar resources online. However, there is one disadvantage of having this comprehensive coverage of this topic, which is the lack of explaining the principles in detail instead of having a quick overview and jumping to a conclusion. I don't think students with a science background can understand that in such a short time, not to mention for students with other disciplines.

It is very nice to follow such a multidisciplinary course. Hence you get a good image of all the aspects that have to to with Wind Energy. To further improve this course I would suggest to think about two courses: one for beginners and one that can act as a more deeper one. Now some issues are touched so briefly that people with no good technical backgound would have difficulties to understand all the concepts. As a conclusion I would say: I enjoyed following this course very much! :-)

The course touches all possible areas of wind energy sector including the economics as well as engineering aspects of it. It will be a game changer for those who are interested in renewable energy and wind technology. I am truly enlightened by the professors at DTU. I'll be so glad if they add another course on wind energy software, simulation applications that dive into more industry related aspects and techniques. Thank you DTU and Coursera for providing this amazing MOOC.

The course is very well structured. The problems were challenging yet doable. Some of the technical terms could have explained in a slow and detailed manner so that the students can follow up the lecture quite easily. The derivations should be slowed down a bit. It would be wonderful if they derive them by hand instead of presenting through slides. In the end It is a great course! Loved doing it. Thank you teachers for providing me an insight into the field of Wind Energy.

Good course but could definitely be improved. It is too introductory and need to get more complicated in my opinion. Lectures are ok except the last part with wind turbine electronics. Lecturer there seems bored and uninterested in passing his knowledge. Slides have mistakes there, the quiz of this part also is unnecessarily big, too many questions that are asking the same thing. Also, one question, although answered correctly is regraded as wrong.

Course content is good. I found quality of questions there in quiz. But the thing I most disliked is assigning several course instructors. 1 or 2 instructor are suitable for learner to easily grasp the content explained by him. Different instructor opt different style of delivery and it becomes difficult to get them. Otherwise I enjoyed the hole course and hoping that this learning will surely help me in my career upliftment.

The breadth of topics introduced is excellent, and the detail relayed in lectures on these topics is enough to understand general ideas and dependencies of wind power concepts. However, lectures are frequently "standalone", without explicit effort to bridge one lecture to another (a lot of the work to connect concepts is left to the student). I recommend this course if a general introduction to wind power is your goal!

4 stars. This is a very useful course, it shows the most important things to start the study and analysis of wind energy. I really enjoyed it, but i have two reviews. The first one is regards to the sound level in the videos, i mean, the level is ''standard'' , but it could really improve, the second one is related to some writing errors in some individual slides. Thank you.

The course lectures and materials for each module (total of 9) are well prepared and presented. The actual learning is via the quiz given after each module. However, what is lacking is a "capstone design or project" module that ties all of the previous modules together. This final module would use the learnings and computer-based models developed in the pre
