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 of the field of small wind power plants. Depending on the selected elective course, the knowledge is either deepened in the field of software-based aeroelastic simulation of wind turbines or in the field of wind turbine measurement techniques in the laboratory. The course includes practical, manual work in the workshops of the TU Berlin as well as self-organization in small groups and independent time management and working methods. The course is principally designed to impart: Technical skills 30%, methodological skills 30%, system skills 20%, social skills 20%

Content

The modularly structured course consists of a compulsory course as well as two elective events, only one of which must be attended. Within the framework of the obligatory event "Construction of a small Wind Turbine", a fully functioning small wind turbine (2 m diameter, 400 Wp) is being constructed within the TU workshops. All relevant components, such as rotor blades, generator and charging electronics are manufactured by the students themselves. The elective event "Aeroelastic Simulation of Wind Turbines" is about the active transfer of application-oriented software knowledge. The simulation program "QBlade" is taught within a one-semester course. Through application examples, simulations and supervised programming tasks, the students are given competences in the independent handling of the software, and existing knowledge from previous lectures is deliberately deepened and expanded. In addition, the course prepares the participating students for assignments in the area of wind energy research by dealing with scientific-oriented questions. The elective event "Wind Turbine Measurement Techniques" is an interactive laboratory course. During the semester the students develope a measurement campagne and consequently perform measurements concerning e.g. the power curve on a micro wind turbine. 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 practical workshops. 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.

Requirements for participation and examination

Desirable prerequisites for participation in the courses:

The course does not provide the basics of the wind energy and fluid dynamics but deepenes existing knowledge and builds upon it. Therefore the successful completion of the modules "Wind Energy - Basics"("Windenergie - Grundlagen"), "Wind Energy - Project / Deepening"("Windenergie - Projekt/Vertiefung") and "Fluid Dynamics I + II"("Strömungslehre I+II") are highly recommended but not a mandatory prerequisite. In addition, basic knowledge of measurement technology and experience with regard to self-reliant working methods in small groups are also helpful.

Mandatory requirements for the module test application:

This module has no requirements.
