Wind Turbine Manufacturing, Assembly, Test and Maintenance Challenges
The entire world is seeking more energy, including energy generated by wind power. In this course the basic components of a wind turbine are illustrated and explained. The integration of CAD with computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and numerically- controlled machining coupled with computer coordinated measuring machine inspection has led to great advances in manufacturing parts for wind turbines. We will also consider some very new developments in the design and manufacture of wind turbines; for example; wind turbines that don't have any gear boxes.
What you will learn:
- Review windmill and wind turbine design and manufacturing goals for increased yield and production rates
- Discuss how wind turbine design influences automated manufacturing, as well as deployment in the field
