Capacity building measures - overview[1]

for instance:

  • knowledge transfer
  • training for local partner
  • energy policy advisory services
  • vocational training
  • on-the-job e.g. feasibility studies, analysis of wind data 

Class-room and on the job training: Wind data measurements

The first phase of measurment of wind data should be accompanied by training measures for partner/local experts/staff.

Content of the trainings should be (among others):

  • General introduction into wind energy utilization and -technology
  • approach and criteria for site selection
  • methods and instruments for wind data measurement
  • maintenance of measurement equipment and reading of data
  • analysis of wind data

At the end of the training phase, the impacts should be evaluated, e.g. because of an "examination" (test). (cp. also Monitoring)

Wind measurement <10m

Staff of partners will be introduced into operation and maintenance of the equipment, as well as data collection and analysis. 

  • Subsequent to installation and commissioning of the measurement poles, the staff that is responsible for operation, maintenance and data management, will receive introduction according to their work tasks (Training-On-The-Job).

Content of the introduction::

  • Control and, if applicable, error analysis of messearument technology, regular maintenance of the system , documentation of maintenance (log book)
  • Clarification of mode of data transfers of raw data and, likely, data analysis with the local experts

Wind measurement > 10m

For wind measurement > 10 m, training content may look as follows:

  • increase of wind speed because of height over ground and calculation
  • analysis of wind data
  • long-term observation and corellation of wind data
  • planning wind park layouts, optimization of different types of plants
  • wind energy yield prediction  

Training example: Capacity Building Wind Energy[2]

Objective of the training:

  • Introduction in theoretical basics wind energy utilization
  • Introduction wind energy turbine technology
  • Planning wind energy projects
  • Preparation of internation cooperation in the field of wind energy
  • Capacity Building and technology transfer in the field of wind energy

Two Parts:

1. Basic Course "Technology of Wind Power Plants"

2. Advanced Course "Application of Wind Energy"

Basic Course: Introduction into Technology of Wind Power Plants

Content (2-months):

  • Introduction into RE, environmental impacts on energy use
  • Structure of theChinese energy sector
  • RE sectoranalysis
  • Wind energy physiscs(maximal power coefficient; Betzmaximum; wind potential)
  • Wind measurement and evaluation (anemometer calibration; Weibullparameters, power curve of wind turbines; energy output of a turbine)
  • Wind turbine technology
  • Transport an erection of a wind turbine
  • Rotor design
  • Aerodynamic fundamentals
  • Blade dimension based(Betz, Schmitz)
  • Partial load performance
  • Wind tunnel testing
  • Structural loads
  • Scaling
  • Electrical connection
  • Blade construction and production
  • Dynamic behaviour
  • Controlling (different control systems; pich; stall)
  • Economic analysis (methods, external costs, comparisonnalysis, sensitivity analysis, dynamic energy production costs)
  • Side selection
  • Environmental impacts
  • Social acceptance

Advanced Course: Application of Wind Energy

Content (3-months course):

  • Structural loads and operational parameters
  • Design and control concepts of wind turbines
  • Planning wind power projects incl. Electrical connection
  • Technical concepts of German wind turbines
  • Company presentations (AN Bonus, DeWnd, Nordex, REPower, GE Wind, Enercon, Vestas)
  • German wind energy market
  • Policy and incentives in Germany
  • Wind measurement and resource assessment
  • Planning wind parks: Siting optimisation, transmission losses, wakeeffects)
  • Wind power in complex terrain(Micro-siting)
  • Resource assessment (flow models, park calculations)
  • Power curve measurements
  • Technical requirements for dataloggers
  • Environmental impacts of wind power project
  • Planning permission procedures and noise measurements
  • From financing to take over–practical aspectsof project planning
  • Stand alones ystems based on wind and hydropower
  • Wind power integration into the electricity supply system and wind integration aspects in China
  • Generator systems
  • Gridconnections and grid effects
  • Results of the German „250 MW wind power programme“
  • Grid-relevant wind turbine characteristics given by manufacturers
  • Hybrid systems with wind power
