Description

This course includes hands-on guided use of the Bladed software completed by tutorials on key topics of wind turbine technology. By the end of the coures you will be able to understand the basic principles of a wind turbine, build a complete wind turbine model, perform load calculations, understand control concepts and have an overview of site specific load calculations.
