Wind Energy
Wind Energy
In the specialization Wind Energy, students achieve a general understanding of wind energy and knowledge of the various technologies related to the field, an understanding that enables them to analyse, design, develop and operate wind energy systems.
The study line combines socio-economic aspects of sustainable energy with relevant technical disciplines, such as measurement techniques, design of wind turbines, offshore wind energy, power system integration, and planning and development of wind farms.
Graduates with a degree from the Wind Energy study line are highly qualified candidates for jobs in the rapidly expanding wind energy sector.
