Offshore Wind Energy: Technology, Resources, Grid Integration, and Trends
ECO 610
Offshore wind farms are engineering projects, and it is vital for all professionals who work in the wind energy industry to have an understanding of the underlying science and technology which drive the siting of offshore wind farms, how these projects are integrated into the electric grid, and trends in technology advances and market development. This course is designed for students without an engineering or scientific background, but provides the engineering context and basic scientific concepts to explain, among other things, the offshore wind resource, major components of wind turbines and towers, electrical interconnections, and advances in turbine size, and fixed and floating platforms.
