Overview
This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above). However, if you are not licensed in Ohio, it is suggested that you purchase the self-paced version of the course.

In Wind Turbine Technology Overview , you'll learn ...

  • Major turbine components and common dimensions for utility-scale wind turbines
  • The relationship of wind speed to power production
  • The control schemes employed to produce grid-quality electricity from wind turbines
  • Applications of wind turbines in distributed generation and bulk power delivery of energy
