With the rising concerns on climate change, countries are under pressure to turn to Renewable Energy (RE) sources and reduce CO2 emissions. Amongst RE sources, Wind energy has proved to be a highly successful energy option and 906 GW has been installed worldwide by end of year 2022. Earth’s commercially viable wind power potential is estimated to be huge and only very few countries are using wind power at a large scale. Lack of skilled human resources at various stages of deployment.
NIWE, Chennai, India, being first of its kind institution in Asia, perhaps in developing countries, has responsibilities to address this issue. NIWE has contributed for diffusion of wind energy as one of the primary energy sources in India. India, over the years, has been a trend-setting nation with regard to wind power utilization. Decades of concerted efforts have started to yield gratifying results and today, Wind power with an installed capacity of 43940 MW contributes 10.3 % of the total Indian energy mix of 423359 MW and stands fourth in terms of installed wind power capacity worldwide as on July 2023. With this vast experience, India can incorporate lessons learnt from its own experience to foster growth elsewhere in the globe. NIWE has so far successfully organized 45 international and 55 national training courses and trained over 3000 professionals from 102 countries. In this context, a three weeks Interna-tional Training course is scheduled by NIWE under ITEC programme sponsored by Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) with the support of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India.
The course will offer a good foundation on the principles of engineering behind wind energy technology. The course will addresses all aspects of Wind Power starting from introduction to wind and its technol-ogy, wind resource assessment, installation and commissioning, operation and maintenance of wind farms, financial and policy aspects along with testing and certification of wind turbines. Additionally, visit to wind farms and manufacturing facility is scheduled to give a complete picture of the know-how and how to go about setting up financially viable wind farm projects.
There is NO COURSE FEE and is fully funded by Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India under ITEC programme. The funding includes to and fro air fare, local travels, accommodation, living allowance and book allowance. Accommodation provided will be of international standards.
The resource persons for this training course will be NIWE engineers, industry professionals, academi-cians and other national experts who have significantly contributed for wind energy development in the country.
The course will be useful for anyone involved in wind energy or those who are looking for an introduc-tion. Persons from the following fields will find this course very relevant. Academic and R & D Institutions, Power Industry, Manufacturers, Suppliers and Distributors, Utilities, Consultants, Project Developers, Government Organization, Green Engineers
The course duration will be 18 days from 29th November to 15th Decemeber 2023.
The venue for the programme will be Conference Hall of NIWE, Chennai.
