Measurement and Certification

Program: Module: Abbreviation: Subtitle: Year: Responsible: Lecturer: Master of Science Wind Engineering Measurement & Certification MeasCert Winter semester Dipl.-Ing. Volker Khne (Managing Director of WINDTEST Kaiser-WilhelmKoog GmbH) Dipl.-Ing. Volker Khne et al. (Heads of Departments of WINDTEST, Heads of Departments of Germanischer Lloyd Industrial Services, Business Unit Wind Energy) English M.Sc. Wind Engineering Elective Course a) 2 hours lectures per week b) 1 project work in a team c) 2 excursions (1/2 day each) to WINDTEST a) 30 hours present at University and 30 hours homework b) 15 hours present at University and 25 hours homework c) 10 hours at excursions and 40 hours homework 5 Basics in wind turbine systems Basics in wind energy theory Third party measurements and certification has become a common issue while selling and buying wind turbines world wide. With this approach quality and reliability of wind turbines is secured for a long lifespan of the machine. Throughout the measurements the characteristics of a wind turbine like power performance, noise emission, grid quality are assessed and the load assumptions for the design approval are validated. These characteristics are input to the certification process, including design appraisal, quality checks, control of components and sub-suppliers as well as periodic monitoring within the lifetime of the wind turbine until the end of the lifespan. Students will learn about the system of accreditation and certification, about measurements and standardisation. This is always connected to practical experience from the work of the lecturers, interpreting the results of the work based on the knowledge of theoretical basics of wind engineering. In the project work the students will handle easy measurement cases or perform steps in the certification process. The excursions to the premises of WINDTEST will give a deep insight into the engineering work of a accredited measurement laboratory which has clients worldwide. In the workshop typical measurement equipment can be handled.
