This is an amazing course that taught the complete overview of Wind Energy from economy perspective to the engineering part. Truly recommended for anyone that want to learn the basic about wind energy
par KNov 3, 2018
Firstly thanks for this useful course to DTU and Coursera. I think this will help the person who is really interested in wind energy and make the one to learn and go further in wind energy area.
par CAFeb 1, 2017
The course gives the basics about every thing you have to know about wind energy. There are many instructors participating, showing the effort in giving a good corse with experts in each matter
par TRMar 14, 2020
Very very difficult online course & online quiz that I have ever registeration before. very nice teacher very nice quiz (so difficult) Overall is very nice. Highly recommend / Thanakorn Ra.
par SSOct 7, 2019
Excellent designed course. I learned new things. This course covers most of the aspects related to wind energy. I am hopeful that an advanced course on wind energy will be introduced soon.
par MKJan 27, 2019
from introduction to design and effects of the environment wind speed, design of blade, generation and integration to the grid this course cover all, very informative and well explained.
par JADec 19, 2019
This course provided me a very good understanding of how wind energy harvesting is done. This encourages us to learn more about this type of renewable energy sources. Thank you Coursera.
par JWJun 16, 2018
It's a great introduction into the study of wind energy, and for me a great way to get back into some mathematics that I haven't used since my undergraduate degree. Very enjoyable.
par VGSep 11, 2018
Some things are a bit complex to understand , but a great coverage of all aspects of wind energy sector ,which will definitely help learners for better understanding of wind energy
par AAOct 12, 2019
Happy to have completed my first Coursera course in Wind Energy with DTU Wind Energy I have learnt a lot from this course and look forward my newfound knowledge , think u coursera
par UKJul 27, 2016
Very good and informative, the instructors are apparently new to teach in front of a camera, they will be better in time. I look forward to an advanced course from the same team.
par LBMar 27, 2020
Everything was up to the mark. Lessons of week 4 and week 5 proved to be helpful for me. Some instructor's sound were not enough clear. I expected more aerodynamic depth here.

Vous pouvez soumettre des devoirs à examiner par vos pairs et en examiner vous-même uniquement après le début de votre session. Si vous préférez explorer le cours sans l'acheter, vous ne serez peut-être pas en mesure d'accéder à certains devoirs.
À quoi ai-je droit si j'achète le Certificat ?
Lorsque vous achetez un Certificat, vous bénéficiez d'un accès à tout le contenu du cours, y compris les devoirs notés. Lorsque vous avez terminé et réussi le cours, votre Certificat électronique est ajouté à votre page Accomplissements. À partir de cette page, vous pouvez imprimer votre Certificat ou l'ajouter à votre profil LinkedIn. Si vous souhaitez seulement lire et visualiser le contenu du cours, vous pouvez accéder gratuitement au cours en tant qu'auditeur libre.

Aerodynamics, how to find the right values of a and a'?
1.The formula for finding x = ({Omega}* R )/v_0
2.Solve[16 a^3 - 24 a^2 + a (9 - 3 x^2) - 1 + x^2 == 0, a]
3. a is in interval (0<a<1)
4. a' = (1 - 3 a)/(4 a - 1)
How many numbers after comma I should enter?
Coursera takes in unlimited about of numbers after comma, but we suggest you enter by approximation of 0.01, in cases where the answer is larger then 10000, the decimals are not necessary.
Economics: Having problems with negative values!
All answers are asked to be entered in absolute value.
Economics: I am having problems with calculating NPV!
You have included the present value of the decommissioning cost in the NPV calculation. We have not asked you to do that, so that is why answer is outside the range, but including these costs could also be done, so you are not entirely wrong.
