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.

Hi, The course is a nice introduction to the wind energy.

The exercises are well balanced and sometimes challenging.

I would to suggest a final exam where you have to use all the knowledge learnt along the 5 weeks, and perform a pre-project of wind turbine and install it in wind farm. This way, by doing your own design the concepts are seens as a whole.

Excellent course if you are an engineering student, not great as a introduction to wind energy course. The lecturers should give an example of the calculations in use especially in week 4 to aid in the understanding, this is what I do as a math professor. You should be able to get the concepts without being held back by the mathematical computations.

The course provides an appropriate introduction into the wind energy technology. it covers a vast range of subjects, from aerodynamics to the construction of wind farms and electricity markets. Each topic of the course is represented without a too deep insight but sufficiently enough to obtain a basic understanding of the field. Definitely recommend !

Its an excellent course for a beginner to understand the Wind energy. Emphasis on basics of engineering helps to build & connect to broader understanding during this course. Would have liked to see a bit more explanation on few other aspects of WTG like Foundation, Tower structure, Gearbox, Safety systems etc. But thoroughly enjoyed this course.

Very interesting course! Totally recommended to those starting in the wind energy industry. The course gives a great introduction on wind energy and its engineering concepts. It will be great including a module focused on innovation and the future of wind energy. Similarly to expanding the area of Wind Economics, it was really interesting!

While the course is truly informative, I find the quizzes challenging since there was no examples of computations in the videos. I strongly suggest to have a couple of example problems answered within the lecture to integrate to the minds of the course-takers the computations needed in wind energy. Nonetheless, kuddos to the team!

The course provides very detailed and beautiful insights of wind energy and turbines.

i learned a lot about wind energy and various parameters on which wind energy depends.

i'm thinking to combine the newly acquired set of skill with ML algorithms to build a energy prediction model of my own as a side project.

Thank you all !!!

Great training!

This training allows students and professionals to study a wide variety of topics related to wind energy (wind turbine design, wind turbine monitoring, wind resource assessment, economics, ...).

I highly recommend this training to anyone interested in wind energy or wishing to work in this field in the future.

In general, this is a good introductory course to wind energy and it gives an overview of the most important topics. The lessons on some important subjects should be expanded since they are treated too fast and too generically; this would be fine if the person knows already the subject but it is insufficient otherwise.

I learned a lot, but the description needs to be more clear that this is a mechanical engineering course and not a general engineering course. Even the "electrical systems" section actually covers the rotation of the generator. I was a little disappointed that it did not cover the electrical componets of wind energy.

Very basic wind energy course for beginners. If you have background on some of the topics, you may feel very easy. For instance, my background is structural mechanics and I felt that these struture topics were very simple. Anyway, this is a general course whose content covers basics, I think that is understandable.

Incredible...I've been thinking a lot about working in this field and because of this course I can even talk to people who already work for companies related to wind energy here in Brazil...and sometimes to discuss with them about more complex topics that they've never heard about it. Thanks a lot to the DTU team!!!

It is a good course for all people who want to know more aobut this resource. In opinion each chapter could be a course in order to make a especialization and, about all, one course dedicated to software (wasp... windpro...) would give 5 stars. A good introduction course, i hope it helps me to find a new job... :(

This course gave me a very nice overview to different aspects of the wind turbines, which is necessary for everyone who wants to work in this field. It would be better if this course continues with some more courses at higher level, focused on different subjects with more details. Probably for the future courses.

I as an engineering student really loves the courses. the way it delivered is clear and simple, but it would be better if you teach or give lecture a little much longer for week 4 which quite hard to understand especially how those equation derived and some problems with its solutions. the rest is great!

It was such an amazing opportunity for me to learn about Wind Energy. I was quite satisfied with the content and the lectures. The only thing I think can be improved is the quizzes. The four last quizzes don't reflect ALL of the taught context. Generally, I am really pleased to pass this online course.

Excellent Course, with impeccable content and manner of presentation. It is great and if you are one with an engineering background, you might finish it in less hours than expected. My minor concern though is just some of the lectures are not that audible, I could give 5 star if that was not the case.

Overall I learned a lot that I did not know before about wind turbines. There is a lot of material here so it's not possible to go deep on all of it. But if the lectures were about twice as long I think they could cover more of the intuition behind the equations and that would be helpful.

I am just starting out as an engineer in the wind turbine industry and this was a good introduction. While I did not find the section on aerodynamics to be that rigorous, it did provide me with what I needed to learn so that I could learn it from sources more focused on aerodynamics.

Very interesting course which covers the basic concepts of the Wind energy Technology. I recommended it! However I rated this course in 4 stars because of the fact that some lecturers speak very bad English and some times was very difficult to understand what they were trying to say.

I like the assignments for this course. They are not straight forward which makes you search and put more effort into the content. I recommend this course for anyone interested in learning about the costs of wind turbines, the mechanics behind them, and the energy they generate.

Good course to have a very broad and general idea about multiple aspects of wind energy: costs, generation, design, technologies, and production. From an engineering standard point, you might not learn as much as you expect in terms of materials used, design, and efficiency.

Some exercises were too basic. Can provide more insights on the way the various formulae were derived. It was a good experience to actually get to know that there were a great many things behind the construction of a wind farm which I was totally unaware about.

Great sections on aerodynamics, giving the students the necessary tools to comprehend complex topics. A more broad description on Wind Energy economics would be appreciated, as well as further insight into control systems. Overall, great introductory course!

Very nice course to have an overview of all the complexity of wind energy. Good to see the fast growth of this clean energy in DN. Applies a bit of most every main field of what engineers learn at uni, so also good review of some main engineering concepts.
