Research in Wind and Energy Systems - challenges and methods


Technical University of Denmark


General course objectives:
To provide the students with knowledge about subjects in wind and energy systems research, as well as team work.

Learning objectives:
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
  • Understand the state-of-the-art in different areas of wind and energy systems research
  • Write a brief summary of scientific papers in different areas of modern wind and energy systems research
  • Prepare pedagogical slides for a digital presentation of a scientific subject
  • Formulate and present an interdisciplinary synthesis of the research objectives and challenges of the topic chosen for the report
  • Formulate good questions in English to lectures within a broad range of subjects within modern wind and energy systems research
  • Understand the basic principles of good research data management
  • Discuss research results in wind and energy systems
  • Convey academic content in a field where you are not an expert

Contents:
The course covers a wide range of subjects in the field of wind and energy systems, including materials and composites, wind turbine design, wind energy systems and electric power & energy. The lectures are given by senior academics who actively work on these topics. The purpose of the course is to ensure that the PhD students within the field of wind and energy systems research are well-informed in all areas, including areas they do not specialize in. During the course, the students will work on a surrogate research project covering several research topics within wind and energy systems, in teams chosen in agreement with the course responsible. The outcome of the work will be a presentation. It is expected that the students prepare themselves by reading the provided background material.
