New Course Launch
The “Introduction to Offshore Wind” course is now available for Early Access!
It provides a clear overview of offshore wind technology, giving students the essential knowledge needed to work in this growing field.
Building on an explanation of basic fluid mechanics, the course will explain the key concepts behind wind turbine and wind farm aerodynamics, the wind resource, wind turbine yield and control, the offshore environment, and the hydrodynamics of turbine foundations.
By the end of the Course, you will understand how all the components of an offshore wind farm work. You’ll be able to:
🔶 Analyze site conditions.
🔶 Select the foundation type.
🔶 Assess energy production.
Skills directly applicable to the wind energy industry.
Additionally, you will understand the principles and procedures behind wind turbine and wind turbine foundation design, focusing on the additional complexities of emerging floating wind turbines.
The course is video-based and on-demand, allowing you to learn at your own pace, wherever and whenever you want. It includes quizzes and downloadable documentation (172 pages!) and provides access to the course’s virtual private classroom, where you can interact with the instructor and other students. You will receive a Course Certificate upon completion of the course.
We are looking forward to meeting you at the Course!
