Basedata
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

- 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.
