This is a multidisciplinary course intended for students with a physical science or engineering background wishing to pursue a technical approach to wind energy. It assumes some basic knowledge of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) disciplines. It will educate students in advanced aerodynamic, mechanical and electrical aspects of wind turbines and modern wind turbine architecture, including the following subject areas: wind characterization, wind turbine and wind farm architecture, wind energy conversion, rotor aerodynamics, electrical systems, and integration with the electric utility grid. Additionally, students will be informed about business, financial, legal, regulatory, and project development aspects of the wind energy and renewable power industry.
This course is taught on-line in collaboration with Texas Tech University through the WindU collaborative partnership; the primary course instructor is based at Texas Tech.
Prerequisites: MIE 573 or the equivalent, or permission of the instructor.
Contact Prof. Manwell, manwell@ecs.umass.edu for details.
This document summarizes graduate courses in the field of wind energy that are offered on-line in the spring of 2021. The courses include: i) MIE 673 Wind Turbine Design, ii) MIE 697AW Advanced Wind Power Conversion (electrical aspects), iii) MIE 697LL Special Topics/Advanced Technical Wind Energy 2 (technical), iv) MIE 697WF Wind Energy Finance, Economics and Policy. Details are provided below.
The four courses described here are offered as part of the WindU consortium (see https://nau.edu/mechanical-engineering/wind-u/) Graduate students already enrolled in one of the consortium universities (UMass Amherst, Texas Tech University, and Northern Arizona University) may register directly at their home university. Other interest participants (including those already working in related fields) may enroll in the classes as non-degree graduate students at one of the partner universities. For information about enrolling as a non-degree graduate student at UMass Amherst, see https://www.umass.edu/graduate/apply/non-degree-students.
In addition to the WindU courses described herein, prospective students may be interested in the professional offshore wind energy certificate program, which is also available at UMass Amherst. The certificate involves three courses taken through the University Without Walls program. These courses include: i) ECO 610: Offshore Wind Energy ? Technology, Resources, Grid Integration, and Trends, ii) ECO 611: Offshore Wind Energy - Environmental Impacts, Siting, Permitting, and Stakeholder Engagement, ECO 612: Offshore Wind Energy ? Project Economics, Deployment, and Business Logistics. This certificate program is geared toward any professional engaging in the offshore wind industry, as well as graduate students in related fields.
