While the electrical energy production is more and more diversified, the energy from wind is a rising solution. Projects of new plants are numerous. These projects include wide offshore farms as well as low power plants in rural environment or in places where the grid is not present. Wind energy is then a important industrial issue and presents many employment perspectives. The objective of this course is to present the technologies that are used to convert wind energy into electrical energy. The addressed issues deal with fluid mechanics, electrical engineering and power electronics.
The activity focuses on environmentally sustainable development and social responsibility.
