M.Sc - DTU
3–6 Months
Masters of Science Programes
The course is an introduction to the atmospheric physics and associated basic statistical analysis relevant to wind energy. It deals with the atmospheric boundary layer, including stability, roughness and topography, mean winds, and extreme wind statistics. It also involves turbulence and gusts; description of these includes spectra, coherence and probability density functions. Sources of wind data are reviewed; wind resources and their assessment, as well as site assesment and the IEC standard are covered.
To give a general and usable understanding of atmospheric flow/physics and statistics relevant for wind energy, including wind resource assessment, site assessment, and driving atmospheric input for aero-elastic loads calculations

Expected duration:
3–6 Months
Format:
Hybrid
Level:
Advanced
Language of instruction:
English
Requirements:
Need to know/use undergraduate mathematics including differential & integral calculus with vectors & complex numbers (e.g. DTU 01005 & 01901). Some basic fluid mechanics/dynamics is also used, and thermodynamics is a bonus. Course now uses Python assignment templates, which reduces the workload for the student compared to 2024 and earlier; thus experience with Python (also Matlab) is helpful—equivalent to e.g. DTU 02631/02633.
