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
* present technologies related to solar power.
Content
How are you able to get electricity from wind and finally turnover?
Which are the components of a wind turbine, and how are you able to run the turbine in a safe way?
In which conditions can a wind turbine or a wind farm be connected to the national network?
How are you able to realize a solar power project of a private home or a company, and which components and permissions are needed?
