Introduction to Wind Turbine Technologies

The ideal starting point for anyone entering the wind energy industry. Covers the fundamentals of wind turbine operation and control through an interactive real-time simulator.

• 1-1 — Real-Time Simulator: Active Stall Wind Turbine (Family 2)
  Explore concepts common to all wind turbine families: nacelle yaw control, blade pitch control, hydraulic system, and plant state machine. Observe subsystem signals during start-up (cut-in), shutdown (cut-out), and fault conditions including grid disconnection, excessive temperatures, storm winds, hydraulic faults, and yaw faults.
• 1-2 — Tutorial
  Detailed description of each subsystem, its underlying physical principles, and the control strategies implemented.
• 1-3 — Practical Classes
  Guided exercises using the simulator to build hands-on familiarity with turbine controller behaviour in normal operation and under fault conditions across multiple subsystems.

Introduction to Wind Farms and SCADA Control Centres

Covers the key components of a wind farm and how they are monitored and controlled from a SCADA control centre.

• 2-1 — Real-Time Wind Farm Simulator
  Explore wind farm components and practise control centre functions: production monitoring, generation set-point following, and an introduction to maintenance concepts.
• 2-2 — Tutorial
  Description of wind farm components (meteorological measurement systems, turbine data acquisition, production management criteria). Includes an overview of electrical grid characteristics and the grid management criteria affecting wind farm operating conditions, plus guided practical exercises.

Wind Turbine Technology Training

A comprehensive training programme covering the three main wind turbine families operating in wind farms worldwide. Builds directly on Introduction_to_Industrial_Wind_Turbines-Installer-EN.

• Everything in Introduction_to_Industrial_Wind_Turbines-Installer-EN (Active Stall simulator, tutorial and practical classes)
• 3-1 — Real-Time Simulator: Rotor Resistance Controller (Family 3, RRC)
  Covers the transition from fixed-speed to variable-speed operation through external rotor resistance control.
• 3-1 — Real-Time Simulator: DFIG (Family 4)
  The most widely installed wind turbine type. Covers Back-to-Back converter control, reactive power management, grid fault ride-through, and wind gust response.
• 3-2 — Tutorials for Families 3 and 4
  Detailed coverage of power train control procedures and associated power electronics (Back-to-Back converters), plus an introduction to wind gust response.
• 3-3 — Advanced Practical Classes
  Exercises on wind gust response, power train operation under normal and fault conditions, and analysis of Back-to-Back converter electrical variables.
