Overview

This STRATEDGE training course comprehensively addresses the wind energy generation sector, commencing with fundamental principles and progressing to the formidable task of converting atmospheric wind currents into valuable electrical power. The curriculum encompasses aspects ranging from wind measurement to the selection of appropriate turbine models and wind farm layouts.

Technical experts, engineers, and decision-makers at the executive level can leverage this training program to gain insights into optimal practices and proven methodologies for the development and management of wind farm projects. Professionals already immersed in the wind energy industry stand to enhance and refresh their understanding of essential concepts and processes involved in both the establishment and operation of wind farms. Benefit from this course, supported by direct insights into the development and operation of over 50 Gigawatts of wind farm rated capacity spanning all five continents.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this training course, participants will be equipped to:

  • Grasp the entirety of technical principles associated with the production of wind energy.
  • Evaluate global wind resource data effectively.
  • Identify the most suitable wind turbine model for a given site.
  • Formulate optimized layouts for wind farms.
  • Devise strategies for the operational management of wind farms.

 

Training Methodology

Participants in this training course will engage in an array of established instructional methods. Each module will commence with an overview, succeeded by the presentation of essential technical concepts. This will encompass the use of PowerPoint presentations, videos, visual representations, real-life case studies, and interactive exercises. Ultimately, a group discussion (question and answer session) will conclude each module.
