  1. “National Technical University of Athens: Wind Specialization” EUREC Master starting day, Renewable Energy House, Monday 14th of October 2013, Brussels G.Caralis Mechanical Engineer NTUA, PhD

  2. National Technical University of Athens • NTUA is the foremost Technological Institution of Greece • Member of EUREC Agency since 1997. • NTUA has been involved for a long time in education and research activities related to renewable energy sources. • NTUA is spread over two complexes: the first one is located at the city centre and the second one, the one where the Master students are based, at about 5km from the city centre (Zografou campus).

  3. Wind Specialization in NTUA • In the framework of the EUREC master, NTUA offers Wind Energy specialization since the beginning of the master in 2002. • Wind energy specialization taught mostly by professors from the Renewable Energy Sources Unit (RENES), Wind Energy Lab (WEL) and Aerodynamics Lab. • The Centre for Renewable Energy Sources (CRES) contributes to the course, offering some lectures and use of CRES laboratories (students are hosted at CRES premises for two weeks). • Wind experts from the industry and professors-visitors contribute to the course. • Technical Visit to a Wind Farm.

  4. Structure of the syllabus - modules The wind specialization in NTUA is organized in three modules and one mini project: - Module 1: Wind potential, Aerodynamics & Loading of Wind Turbines - Module 2: Wind Turbine Design, electrical & Control Issues, Certification - Module 3: Wind Farm design, Wake effects, Economics & Environmental Issues - Mini-Project

  7. A workshop for EUREC students • A workshop is offered to EUREC students and held in the large subsonic wind tunnel of the Aerodynamics laboratory. • Students test a Wind turbine model and conduct measurements under several wind conditions. • Students reproduce the power curve and analyse wind turbine’s loading and strength. • Responsible Professor: Vasilis Riziotis

  9. Job perspectives - Following wind energy specialization, students are qualified for employment in the rapidly growing international wind energy sector. - Students can be employed by: wind turbine manufacturers / energy companies / utility companies / developers / consultancies and research institutes. - European Wind Energy Association expects the European Wind sector to create over 250,000 new jobs in Europe in the next decade. - It is true to say that today’s students are the future of green energy.

  10. EWEA annual event • Europe's conference and exhibition for the wind energy industry (More info: http://www.ewea.org/annual2014/) • Free entrance or discount for EUREC students of wind specialization • Good opportunity to look for internships and explore professional network • Overview of European wind sector (participants, companies, developers, manufacturers, consultants) • Keep the dates • For more info: contact me (gcaralis@mail.ntua.gr)

  11. Former EUREC Students says about Wind Specialization “Outstanding network opportunity: Almost 10 years later, my former co-students are people I am doing business with on a day to day basis”, Axel Luizy, French, 2004-05 “...the leading NTUA University in the most inspiring city of Greece: a semester of incredible personal and professional growth...”, Andrea Marchiori, Italian, 2011-12 "Wind Energy specialization in NTUA offers strong technical and economic understanding of the wind sector. The course is proficiently organized and strongly linked to the industry, worldwide. Personally, it was the ideal foundation to start my career in one of the leading wind turbine manufacturers. Choose NTUA's course for an evolving future!", Yiannis Davilis, Greek, 2010-11

  12. Former EUREC Students says about Wind Specialization "An exciting and enriching experience both regarding the city and the studies. The first is one of the liveliest and friendliest cities I've ever been and the lectures were always carried out at the highest standards by a team of skilful, very helpful and approachable lecturers and visitors.”, Raul Astorga Morán, Spanish, 2011-12 "High level of the lessons there,teachers did quite much care;future wind people knowledge is sound, like an offshore wind turbine jacket on the ground", Nicola Staffolani, Italian, 2011-12 …Students from the EUREC Master and from ICARE institute coincided at NTUA to learn about Wind Energy, but ended up learning so much more…”, Borja Flagg Diaz, Spanish, 2012-2013
