M.Sc - PG
3–6 Months
Masters of Science Programes
This course covers aerodynamic aspects of offshore wind turbines and the specific challenges related to the design and operation of offshore wind farms. It includes applied aerodynamics, flow regimes, and aerodynamic characteristics of blade profiles for horizontal-axis turbines. Students study wake effects behind turbines, wake steering methods, and turbine–turbine interactions. The course combines theoretical lectures with a semester-long team project, enabling participants to design offshore wind farm layouts and evaluate both technical and economic performance, including construction and operating costs, as well as expected revenues from energy generation.
To provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge for designing offshore wind farms, including aerodynamic interactions, layout planning, and economic evaluation of construction, operation, and energy yield.
