Wind Energy Basic Course for Engineers
NEXT COURSE:
OCTOBER 4-8 2010
Target audience
The target audience is primarily newly hired engineers. However, the training course can also be of interest for engineers with several years of service who need an up-to-date picture of the business and the different technologies used in the business. It is a prerequisite that the participants have a general interest in wind turbine technique outside their own specialty and work area.
Professional level
The levels of the training courses all match the starting point of engineers who do not have this as their work area. This means that e.g. during the part of the training course that focuses on wind, the participants occupied with siting may be able to contribute to the teacher's presentation.
The professional level can be defined as the level on which sales engineers and engineer customers communicate. In particular the training course will focus on explaining technical characteristics and operational principles.
Background
Every year a large number of engineers are hired within the wind turbine industry. These engineers are specialists on different areas such as hydraulics, gear, welding, production control etc. Most of these specialists have a lack of knowledge of wind turbine technique and the wind turbine business in general.
We have developed this basic training course in order to provide an overview of the totality that these specialties are going to be a part of. Within one week the participants will get a systematic presentation of the work areas of other engineers in the wind power business. Without this training course a newly hired engineer would have to spend much time and energy on gaining this knowledge within the first years of his service. The basic training course will enable the newly hired engineers to communicate with their new colleagues sooner and more efficiently.
Instructors
All our instructors are experienced people from the wind energy industry or professors/associate professors from one the universities.
Price
€ 2.725 per person all included. The price does not include hotel accomodation or travel arrangements.
