Wind Energy

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
    The aim of this course is to provide students with the needed knowledge and skills, which enable them to define and illustrate the main constructional requirements and components of the “wind turbine”. In addition to recognize the different equipment used for measuring the wind speed and direction, and to realize the performance of different wind turbines. Moreover, to predict the extracted power from a wind turbine and to Realize the wind turbine economics.
  • Course Goals
  • Quality Education
  • Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
  • Responsible Consumption and Production
