Code: VV00ER63
Credits
5 op
Objective
After completing this course, you will be able to
* model the whole process from the kinetic energy of wind to the turnover of a production company
* list and describe main technologies, business principles, environmental aspects, energy policies and their trends related to wind power
* describe the mutual impacts of wind power and electric networks
