Small Wind Electric Systems to Power Your Home (R02-003)
Wind Energy Assessment (M06-002)
Wind Turbine Technology (R04-009)
This online engineering PDH course focuses on small wind electric systems which can make a significant contribution to our nation's energy needs. It begins by providing tips on how to make our homes more energy efficient and whether the system works for us or not. Also, it illustrates the basic parts of a small wind electric system: how it works; how to size a wind turbine; how to calculate the energy generated by the system; as well as how to determine if there is a good source of wind on the property. In addition, this course provides information on how to connect the system to the utility grid and if it is practical or not; as well as information about going "Off-Grid", i.e. Hybrid.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical and electrical engineers, architects, construction professionals, developers, homeowners and any other technical personnel interested in gaining a better understanding of the design and installation of small wind electric system.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Determining if wind electric systems work for you
- Learning how to make your home more energy efficient
- Understanding the basic parts of a small wind electric system and how it works
- Learning how to size a wind turbine and determine how much energy will the system generate
- Familiarizing with the costs associated with the installation of a wind turbine
- Determining wind capacity on the site and siting wind turbine locations
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the U.S Department of Energy, "Small Wind Electric Systems" publication.

This online engineering PDH course describes various resource assessment approaches and recommendations for the use of a formal measurement plan, a monitoring strategy, and a quality assurance plan. It summarizes the most commonly used siting techniques and addresses land leasing and permitting requirements for a measurement tower. It also details the recommended measurement parameters and offers guidelines for incorporating other optional parameters that may benefit your monitoring program.
This course also describes the instrument components of a recommended wind resource monitoring station, including the performance specifications for basic and optional sensors. Finally, it highlights data issues related to in-field raw data storage, retrieval and protection, retrieval frequency, and documentation.
A wind resource assessment program is similar to other technical projects. It requires planning and coordination and is constrained by budget and schedule limitations. It demands a clear set of objectives so the best assessment approach is selected. Its ultimate success rests on the quality of the program's assembled assets including sound siting and measurement techniques, trained staff, quality equipment, and thorough data analysis techniques.
This 6 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of wind energy.
