Learning Outcomes
Student having taken the course are expected to have a solid understanding of modern Wind Energy Conversion (WEC) Systems; the way WEC systems make optimum use of the wind resource available, the role that power electronic converters play in modern WEC systems, and on the impact of wind farms in the electrical power grid from the steady-state and the dynamic vantages
