Revision as of 07:58, 27 July 2011 by ***** (***** | *****)

Capacity building measures - overview[1]

for instance:

  • knowledge transfer
  • training for local partner
  • energy policy advisory services
  • vocational training
  • on-the-job e.g. feasibility studies, analysis of wind data 

Class-room and on the job training: Wind data measurements

The first phase of measurment of wind data should be accompanied by training measures for partner/local experts/staff.

Content of the trainings should be (among others):

  • General introduction into wind energy utilization and -technology
  • approach and criteria for site selection
  • methods and instruments for wind data measurement
  • maintenance of measurement equipment and reading of data
  • analysis of wind data

At the end of the training phase, the impacts should be evaluated, e.g. because of an "examination" (test). (cp. also Monitoring)

Wind measurement <10m

Staff of partners will be introduced into operation and maintenance of the equipment, as well as data collection and analysis. 

  • Subsequent to installation and commissioning of the measurement poles, the staff that is responsible for operation, maintenance and data management, will receive introduction according to their work tasks (Training-On-The-Job).

Content of the introduction::

  • Control and, if applicable, error analysis of messearument technology, regular maintenance of the system , documentation of maintenance (log book)
  • Clarification of mode of data transfers of raw data and, likely, data analysis with the local experts

Wind measurement > 10m

For wind measurement > 10 m, training content may look as follows:

  • increase of wind speed because of height over ground and calculation
  • analysis of wind data
  • long-term observation and corellation of wind data
  • planning wind park layouts, optimization of different types of plants
  • wind energy yield prediction  

Training example: Capacity Building Wind Energy[2]

Objective of the training:

  • Introduction in theoretical basics wind energy utilization
