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.

Really good course that handles all aspects involved in wind turbine energy generation projects. Really good choice for people interested in renewable, with no previous experience or knowledge in wind turbines. Designed for novice to intermediate users.

The course es very interesting and explain in general very goood, but the people dont have experience in the wind energy have mor difficult to understand units and formulas because teacher explain in general form. But I feel happy to learn this topic.

Good course on the fundamentals of wind energy conversion. Need some good knowledge in mathematics to take up this course. Assignments are interesting and need some good efforts to solve them. The explanation videos are simple and easy to understand.

Curso muito bom para quem deseja saber alguns conhecimentos básicos sobre a fonte. O curso também te dá uma boa visão de como se aprofundar mais, devido as várias características apresentadas. Deixa a desejar um pouco quando se trata de cálculos.

Es un curso bastante completo pero debería entrar más en detalle sobre los temas, a veces no es lo suficientemente específico y los estudiantes tenemos dificultades a la hora de resolver algunas preguntas en los quizzes. Por lo demás, muy bien

good level and comprehensive MOOC for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics oriented people and students. In my opinion, exercices evaluate too much mathematics skills compare to wind turbines knowledge. I recommend this MOOC.

Course content is in-depth and discusses major topics related to wind energy but does not explain in depth especially the one with actual case studies like graphs and charts. The instructor should have explained the case studies clearly.

Really good info, I would like to get some information about installation, maintenance and decommissioning as well end life use or repowering to increase my knowledge but it has been a really complete and useful course. Thanks a lot!

Good introduction into the different aspeects of the wind industry. I would have liked a bit more depth in many areas and possibly worked out examples of how the equations are used to design and analyse performance of a wind turbine.

Como introduccion es muy bueno. Depende de ti investigar mas en las referencias que vienen en cada capitulo. Lo unico malo es que la informacion que necesitas para resolver algunos quizes no esta bien explicada en el video teorico.

Bom curso, lhe da uma visão interessante sobre a energia eólica, seus componentes e como podemos tanto tecnicamente/economicamente analisar todos os traços para instalação/manutenção/operação de plantas ou equipamentos envolvidos.

For a short time course it provided all the necessary information to cover all the perspectives of wind energy and to do so it made the assignments tough nuts to crack. So, it will eventually take more than 5 weeks to complete.

Overall the course was great, covering wide range of topics from economics to mechanics of wind turbines. There were some mathematical and electrical topics that i found challenging like integral spectra and grid connections.

Overall, the content is good and will give you an idea of what wind energy is and what wind energy concerns. The homework was really useful and well-designed. Four-star is due to some unclear explanations of certain concepts.

Difficult if you don't have mathematical or physics background. And some accounting as well.

Great to know how to start from beginning the wind profile, environment and until the material, structure and electrical.

The last two weeks are awfully hard to acomplish because some of the explenations on structural mechanics, electric components, statics, fluids and mechanics of materials are too shallow for the quiz requirements.

Really good overview of Wind Power. The course that touches upon several different aspects of the Wind Energy some a bit more on the engineering side, but also some more generic knowledge. Very interesting!

Good overall course.

The content covers a lot of topics, which means you only get to touch each area briefly.

Some exercises are funny to solve, while others don't add much value to the learning objectives.

This course is very useful for who are working in wind blade constructions. the course is not an easy to pass need to so many calculations. It will help to improve basic design aspects of wind turbine.

Useful to get a general insight on wind energy and the danish market and how to develop projects. However, if you want to learn more about tutbine design you will need to look for further information.

Very useful and practical course. The teachers introduced the basic knowledge related to wind energy in every area. Plus the materials introduced out-of-class, I have a overall view about wind energy.

This course grows from simplicity to medium complex ones with more emphasis given to rotor blade, need more focus on wind turbine electricals - power conversion, generator design and tower structure

you have to give a lot of efforts specially after week 2 because of numericals but you at the same time your data analysis skills will improve. Informative and at the same time a bit tough course.

Very good overall. The explanations and the supporting materials were very clear. I would rate 5/5 if it included some detailed animations about key elements of the WT (gearbox, generator, etc.).
