Cours assez complet, mais manque un peu de fluidité dans la langue parlée. Je recommande ce cours compte tenu de l'apport théorique important pour comprendre le fonctionnement des éoliennes avec un bon niveau de détails.

By Siva Gnana Deepak S on 7/29/2024

It was simple and easy to understand, but it provides really basic information for a long time, and it also repeats a few times. There were a lot of spelling errors which was not that big of a deal but for a professional course this should not have occurred. Other than that, it was a solid course.

By SHAFIK MATOVU on 11/3/2023

It is just an amazing course if that is the best way to describe something so perfect and incredible like this course.

By Debajit Chakraborty on 10/9/2022

The sections are well structured for any beginner to have insights about WTG. I have a clarification to ask. Please do correct me if i am wrong. As per my previous learnings angle of attack is the angle between the relative wind vector(resultant of absolute wind vector which is normal to rotor plane & rotational speed vector) & chord line. Here it has been shown wrt absolute wind vector. The axial induction factor, rotational induction factor, velocity triangles should have been covered for detailed understanding of aerofoil aerodynamics. Adding another section on forces, stress & moments acting on the blade would have been very well though along with material/composite details.

This course is packed with information. All is very useful to me as I am beginning my career in the Wind Energy Industry.

By Shubham Prajapati on 1/9/2022

Thank you for the course! Yes, I've received the details (Overall Idea of the Wind Energy Industry) which I wanted through this course; however, could be made more interesting by proper animation or visual effects and language use. Thank you again!

By Amar Jadhav on 8/16/2021

Some of the information was repeating in nature and also very basic. could have been avoided. Otherwise overall it was good learning. Fundamentals are explained very well.

By Ziyang Liang on 7/29/2021

The content is good and easy to understand. The instructor is really good at going through all the information.

By Niel Jordaan on 6/1/2021

This course was quite comprehensive and took me from knowing almost nothing about the subject to a good understanding of the various concepts involved. It will not make you an expert in a specific aspect, as the field is large and varied, but you will have a very good head start if you get involved in these types of projects. It also prompts you to learn more about specific areas which interests you. I enjoyed the course.

By Rey Anthony G. Herrera on 4/23/2021

Very informative topic. Highly recommended to anyone interested to learn about wind turbine technology.
