What you will study
What you study
The specialisation in Wind Power Systems is part of the Master of Science in Engineering in Energy Engineering at Aalborg University. It focuses on the electrical side of wind power: generators, power electronics, control engineering and power system technology. You look at the questions engineers in the wind industry actually work with. How do you keep the electricity network stable when a large turbine is connected? Should offshore wind parks use direct current or alternating current transmission? Which generator gives the highest efficiency in a given application? How do you protect a turbine against lightning? And how do you design a small electricity supply network with a turbine, energy storage and loads? The programme builds competence in generators, power electronics, control techniques, power systems and the integration of wind turbines into the power supply network.
