Basics of Small Wind Turbines - Pre-Conference Seminar

Small wind turbines can be combined with PV and other electricity generating
components to provide electrical power in hybrid systems and
mini-grids. The one-day seminar will give an introduction to small wind
turbines, covering the following topics:
o potentials and challenges,
o state of technology, turbine concepts, system integration and optimisation,
o performance, costs, quality, safety and certifi cation,
o planning, installation and operation,
o example projects and fi eld experience.
The seminar will focus on small wind turbines with nominal power
ranging from a few hundred watts up to about 30 kW.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
