26th National Training Course on
WIND ENERGY TECHOLOGY
21st - 23rd August 2024
INTRODUCTION

Renewable Energy in particular Wind and Solar has become mainstay in meeting energy needs having achieved grid parity in term of costs as well as technical requirement. The wind energy has proved a highly successful energy option with installed capacity of 1TW worldwide by June 2023. 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 like USA, European countries and Asian countries - China and India. Even though a good potential of wind is available in many countries, the wind power project is hindering because of the lack of skilled human resources at various stages of deployment.

The National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India has pioneered in promoting Wind Energy and has contributed for promotion of wind energy as one of the primary energy sources in India. Decades of concerted efforts have started to yield gratifying results and today, Wind power contributes about 10.38%(45886.51 MW) of the total Indian energy mix of 441969.55 MW and stands fourth in terms of installed wind power capacity worldwide as on March 2024. Today, India is a major player in the global wind energy market with a sustainable annual growth rate. The key factors responsible for this phenomenal success were the policy support from the Central, especially by MNRE and the technical support extended by NIWE. NIWE has been conducting training courses since 2004 and till now conducted more than 100 National and 48 International training courses and trained over 5000 professionals from 102 countries. With the vast experiences in conducting training courses, NIWE has an obligation to disseminate the right knowledge learnt to foster growth of wind energy not only in India but also across the globe. In this connection, the 26th National Training Course is proposed to address all aspects of wind energy starting from introduction to wind, technology, wind resource assessment, installation & commissioning and operation mainte-nance of wind farms along with financial aspects and testing & certification of wind

METHODOLOGY & COURSE OUTLINE

The lectures often include exercises and case studies to stimulate active participation and dialogue. This training course is intended to cover a wide variety of key topic such as

  • Introduction to Wind Energy and Global Wind Energy Scenario
  • Wind Turbine Technology
  • Wind Resource Assessment and Techniques
  • Economic Analysis of Wind Power Development
  • Installation and Commissioning of Wind Turbines
  • Operation and Maintenance aspects of Wind Farms
  • Offshore Wind Energy
  • Wind Energy Policies, Schemes and legal Frameworks
THE PROGRAMME & SCHEDULE

The duration of this Training Course is 3 days encompassing presentations, detailed lectures with case studies, success stories along with exercises and visits to RE facilities. The dates for the training is from 21st to 23rd August 2024 between 10.00 am and 5.30 pm.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The objective of the training course is to transfer knowledge and special skills to the wind energy personnel active in technical and operational fields as well as those who are looking for entry in wind energy sector. Moreover, the course will provide an invaluable platform for dialogue and open exchange of views and experien¬ces.

TARGET PARTICIPANTS

The targeted participation would be around 50. The course will be useful for anyone who is involved inwind energy field and those who are looking for an introduction. Persons in the following areas will find this course very relevant

  • Academic and R&D Institutions
  • State Nodal Agencies (SNA's)
  • Wind Turbine Manufacturing Companies
  • Suppliers and Distributors
  • Project Developers and Investors
  • Independent Power Producers (IPP)
  • Consulting Firms
  • Financial & Insurance Institutions
  • Government Organizations
REASON TO ATTEND

The course will offer a good foundation on the principles of engineering behind wind energy technology, power generation & distribution along with financial viability and entrepre-neur opportunities. It would give a picture of the know-how and pave the way to go about setting up a financially viable wind farm project. We take utmost care in providing quality lectures and hospitality with appropriate advanced planning. The course structure & organization of training has been highly acclaimed by all the previous course participants.
