Course WT1-02XL: Onshore Wind Farm Planning and Design - extended
[with exercises and field trip]
The course provides detailed knowledge about onshore wind farm planning and design. It gives an overview of the planning steps, covers constrains of wind farm planning, wind farm layout and siting, wind farm operation, SCADA-systems, contracts and insurances, environmental impacts and cash flow analysis. The course provides an introduction to planning software. Practical exercises complement the theoretical material to ensure an optimal learning outcome. Numerous exercises like calculation of shadow and noise, improving wind farm performance as well as a field trip deepen theoretical knowledge.

Purpose
- At the end of the five-day course you should have a fundamental understanding of planning and design of onshore wind farms. You should attain theoretical and practical skills required for wind farm planning and design especially for complex wind farm projects.
- Exercises and a field trip shall deepen participants’ knowledge. They shall make course participants familiar with the challenges in putting knowledge into practical use.
Target group
- This compact course is aimed at persons with responsibility for planning and design of wind farms, and persons from the finance and insurance sector.
