Curriculum for colleges and universities: Teaching wind energy technology with the WindLab
It all started at university...
The WindLab was developed as part of the Global Production Engineering master’s program at the Technische Universität Berlin and launched at the Startup Hub of the Berliner Hochschule für Technik.
The video shows the use of the WindLab at the TU Berlin and feedback from the students, be sure to watch it!
Positive learning experiences
The WindLab offers an experimental approach
to knowledge and can be used in three modes:
Improving the wind energy curriculum
The wind laboratory offers 20+ experiments and tasks for an in-depth understanding of all aspects of wind technology:
- Aerodynamics of wind turbines
How is lift generated by an airfoil and how does it cause the rotor to turn? For what purpose do we use the pitch system and what is the effect on the power? - The electrical system
How is mechanical energy converted into electrical energy? Do we need a gearbox? What are the effects of the inverter and an electrical consumer on the drive train? - Power curves and control
How to measure power curves and read a data sheet? What is torque control and pitch control? How can we start and stop the wind turbine and optimize the energy yield? - Dynamics and design
How can we avoid heavy oscillations during power production in a wind farm? Can we design and 3D-print a rotor blade that increases the energy yield in our measurements?
