ESYS 100Introduction to Wind Power1
This course introduces students to the history of wind power and the basic concepts and terminology of wind, energy, energy conversion, turbine types and applications. Open only to matriculated Clean Energy Management program students, or by permission of department chair. Pre- or co- requisite(s): PHED 145 Adventure or permission of department chair. Terms Offered: Fall Offered Distance Learning: No Credits: 1 Contact Hours: Lecture: 1
This course will prepare the wind technician to identify and properly prepare for safety hazards that would typically be found performing routine work activities. The primary areas of focus include:
This course introduces the student to the complex and diverse nature of modern mechanical power systems. Through this course, students will learn necessary service information and gain instruction on how to safely use the proper tools. Skills gained though this course will help students successfully meet each performance objective. Open only to matriculated Wind Technician certificate program students or by permission of department chair. Co-requisite(s): ESYS 205 Direct Current Devices and
This course will introduce students to the types of direct current motors currently used in the wind turbine industry. Applications to the blade pitch and nacelle yaw systems will be discussed. Devices that control and monitor system applications will also be discussed. Open only to matriculated Wind Technician Certificate Program students or by permission of the department chair. Co-requisite(s): ESYS 100 Introduction to Wind Power; ESYS 200 Turbine Mechanical Systems; ESYS 210 Protective Systems. Pre- or co- requisite(s): PHED 145 Adventure; PHED 141 Weight Training/Personal Fitness or PHED 149 Circuit Fitness or permission of department chair. Lab fee will be required Terms Offered: Fall Offered Distance Learning: No Contact Hours: Lecture: 3 Lab: 2
In wind turbines, proper grounding and bonding is necessary to ensure the safety of the general public and service personnel as well as ensuring the protection of expensive equipment and structures. In this class, the student will study the industry standard bonding and grounding methods in use. These methods are used to protect against short circuits, lightning, static charges, and induced (stray) voltages. Students will also look at Federal Aviation Administration requirements for anti-collision beacons and the use of the weather stations mounted on commercial scale wind turbines as an active part of the protective systems. Open only to matriculated Wind Technician certificate program students or by permission of the department chair. Co-requisite(s): ESYS 200 Turbine Mechanical Systems and ESYS 205 Direct Current Devices. Terms Offered: Fall Offered Distance Learning: No Contact Hours: Lecture: 2
This course is designed to provide the student with the knowledge and understanding of doubly fed generators, power converters and associated automatic control systems used in a large wind turbine driven generating systems. The course will discuss the construction, operation and maintenance of synchronous and asynchronous three phase alternating current generators. Additional course topics include discussion of the use and operation of the four quadrant frequency converters in the operation of the wind turbine doubly fed generating system and the integrated automatic control and protection systems that they employ. By incorporating lab activities into the course structure, it will provide the student with the didactic learning necessary for employment in this developing area of the energy supply industry. Open only to matriculated Wind Technician certificate program students or by permission of the department chair. Pre-requisite(s): ESYS 200 Turbine Mechanical
