Advances in Wind Powered Generation Technology

Course No. R-2007

Credit: 2 PDH

Course Fee: $57.90 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Jeffrey Havelin, P.E., BS CE

 

Overview

This course was specifically designed to introduce the basic design concepts behind large commercial wind powered electric generation systems.

The goal of the wind energy industry is to contribute 100 GW of wind electricity to our Nation’s energy supplies by 2020. By meeting that goal, wind energy will help secure our Nation’s energy future and clean up our environment by displacing about 3 quadrillion BTUs of primary energy per year and 65 million metric tons of carbon equivalent per year.

In the past 10 years, the global wind energy capacity has increased tenfold — from 3.5 gigawatts (GW) in 1994 to almost 50 GW by the end of 2004. In the United States, the wind energy capacity tripled from 1600 megawatts (MW) in 1994 to more than 6700 MW by the end of 2004 — enough to serve more than 1.6 million households.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
