Overview

You will explore questions such as:

How do we ensure electric network stability when a large wind turbine is connected to the electricity system?
Should direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) transmission be applied to offshore wind farms of the future?
What type of generator provides the highest efficiency in a given application?
How can a wind turbine be protected against lightning?
How do you design a micro electricity supply network comprising a wind turbine, energy storage and loads?

The Hybrid Wind Power Systems programme of Aalborg University (Aalborg Campus) combines lectures, laboratory work and project work. In each semester (except for the last) you will spend half of your study time on courses and course work while the other half of your time will be spent doing a semester project. Each semester has an overall theme, and within this theme you will conduct a semester project with your project group in which you investigate and attempt to solve a relevant issue within your field of study.
