Wind Power:
Wind energy today is a booming worldwide industry. The technology has truly come of age, with better, more reliable machinery and a greater understanding of how and where wind power makes sense--from the independent homestead to a grid-connected utility-wide perspective. Heightened concerns about our environment mean that this resurgence of interest in wind--a natural and widespread power source--is here to stay. The course covers wind power for home and business. In addition to exploring the science of capturing energy from the wind, this module includes new examples and case studies of successful wind systems, power calculations, turbine and tower construction, and concludes with students erecting a wind turbine and tower.

Upon successful completion of this module the students will receive a training certificate of hours completed and a certificate of completion for the installation of a working tower and wind turbine.
