FUNDAMENTALS OF WIND TURBINE TECHNOLOGIES

held during 10^th - 11^th March 2005

The second National Training Course on “FUNDAMENTAL OF WIND TURBINE TECHNOLOGIES” was organized successfully on 10^th and 11^th March 2005.

The idea was to address all aspects of Fundamentals of Wind Turbine Technologies starting from wind resource to aerodynamics & wind turbines and wind electric generator in a focused manner.

The following topics were covered in the training, Blade theory and Power Regulation, Types of Generators in Wind Turbine, Wind Resources & Assessment Techniques, Grid Integration of Wind Turbines, Analysis of Lattice Tower and Foundation Concepts, Overview of Wind Turbine Design, Control and Protection System Requirements, Certification of wind Turbines, Power Curve Measurements, Mechanical Loads and Operation & Maintenance of Wind Turbine. 27 participants got benefited in the training course. All the lectures were delivered by the C-WET scientists/engineers. The participants were also taken to the 55 kW Wind turbine nacelle facility at C-WET and explained to have a practical knowledge.
