Wind energy, conversion and hybrid systems training bench — GT-WIND-01

GT-WIND-01 is the commercial complement attached to GT-HYD-01, the hydroelectric / electromechanical block of the EnR programme. A training platform for a complete wind installation: wind resource, aerodynamics, rotor, yaw, pitch, generator, electrical conversion, storage, grid connection, supervision, diagnosis and maintenance. Audience: renewable-energy technicians, electromechanics, automation technicians, network technicians and engineers. Training: 70 hours, outside the 336-hour core path. Distinct from integrated laboratory GT-RE-LAB-001.
