Contents

  • Geostrophic wind, planetary boundary layer, influences of the boundary layer, turbulence, Weibull distributions, wind atlas
  • Fundamentals of wind energy use, classification, principle of lift and drag rotors
  • Design methods: Betz, Schmitz and blade element momentum method
  • Aerodynamics, construction and control of wind turbines
  • Basics of water turbines, overview and classification with key figures
  • Overview of Pelton, Francis and Kaplan turbines using selected examples

Competencies / intended learning achievements

  • Students can explain the geostrophic wind model and the transition to the ground in terms of the planetary boundary layer.
  • They are able to explain the influences on the atmospheric boundary layer.
  • The students recognise that Weibull distributions are necessary to describe wind conditions and will be able to characterise them.
  • They know the European Wind Atlas and understand it as a tool for describing wind conditions.
  • Students will be able to compare lift and drag runners and select one of the principles for a given task.
  • They are able to understand the aerodynamics of a modern wind turbine and can work out an example or analyse a given one.
  • They can explain how to control wind turbines (on the basis of characteristic diagrams and/or for given operating points).
  • Students will be able to describe and apply the basic aspects of energy conversion in water turbines.
  • They will be able to list the different types of water turbines and to characterise them with the help of characteristic diagrams.
