Final exam
Details
The exam examines the students' understanding of the operation of wind turbines and their operation under different wind conditions (in contrast to the project, which analyzes the behavior of whole wind parks).
Minimum standard
As a rule, at least 50% of the achievable points are required to pass the exam.
Exam Type
The exam examines the students' understanding of the operation of wind turbines and their operation under different wind conditions (in contrast to the project, which analyzes the behavior of whole wind parks).

Learning goals

Knowledge
Students understand the physics of the wind, and can derive statistical wind distributions from wind data and calculate the energy yields of wind turbines.
Students understand and describe the tasks of all components of a wind turbine and can assess the influence of the individual parts on each other and can estimate the consequences of the interaction of the components on the energy yield and the ecoomic performance of wind turbines.

Learning goals

Skills
Students can plan wind farms using planning software and comment on the placement of the wind turbines of a park and justify this. In addition to the aspects of energy yield, these include the environmental impact of wind farms.
