Learning Outcomes
The aim of the module is the deepening and practical application of knowledge in the field of wind energy, which is based on the modules "Wind Energy - Fundamentals"("Windenergie-Grundlagen") and "Wind Energy - Project / Deepening"("Windenergie-Projekt/Vertiefung"). Participating students should learn independent organization of projects and group work, deepening in the area of wind energy and practical experience in dealing with wind power plants. After a successful attendance of the course, the students will have an in-depth knowledge in the field of wind turbine measurement techniques in the laboratory, general preparation and conduction of measurement campaigns and post processing and evaluation of scientific data.
The course is principally designed to impart:
Technical skills 30%, methodological skills 30%, system skills 20%, social skills 20%
Content
"Wind Turbine Measurement Techniques" is an interactive laboratory course. During the semester the students develope a measurement campaign and consequently perform measurements in the wind tunnel and at a generator test stand. Application-related aerodynamic and electro-technical interrelations are mediated and the use of measurement technology as well as the evaluation and data analysis are applied. In order to prepare the students for their master thesis and other scientific assignments, small research tasks are carried out and a scientific paper is authored.
Description of Teaching and Learning Methods
The module combines theory and practice in the context of regenerative energies. It includes the learning of research-oriented simulation software and measurement technology laboratory tests as well as scientific writing. The focus is on the project work in small groups, whereby the independent scientific work, small group presentations, preparation of project reports as well as the independent elaboration of scientific content beyond frontal teaching plays an important role.
Registration Procedures
Registration for the module is done by e-mail before the start of the first lecture week.
The e-mail address will be published on the homepage of the "chair of fluid dynamics" (FG "Experimentelle Strömungsmechanik").
If the number of applications exceeds the number of available participants, the participants will be selected by lottery (Losverfahren).
