Content
This is a project based design and experimentation course. Students will wind tunnel experiment specifically designed to evaluate specific wind farm configurations, such as wake characteristics and transport of kinetic energy. Projects will include developing and implementing the test facility, selecting and deploying appropriate sensors; in addition to analyze and process data, and interpret results.  Prerequisites: Introductory Fluid Mechanics at the level of T536RENN.  
Learning outcome - Objectives
At the end of the course, the students will have:
  • Knowledge of the fundamentals of the atmospheric boundary layer which relate to wind power.
  • Knowledge of the basics of horizontal axis wind turbines, efficiency, and energy extraction.
  • Skills in analyzing the aerodynamic performance of a given wind turbine, applying Blade Element Theory.
  • Skills to to design an experiment, applying appropriate engineering and measurment techniques to address the research goals.
  • Competence in assessing the power generation of a given wind turbine configuration.
  • Competence to analyze and present data or findings in reports and presentations, appropriate to describing the project for both scientific and general audience.
Course assessment
Final grade will be based on: Participation; Homework and small projects; Lab and design reports; Final exam.
