Collaborative Research Based Education for Optimized Performance of Wind
There is a worldwide shortage of millions of educated/trained employees in the Renewable energy (RE) sector. This shortage is primarily attributed to the long time taken to adapt the educational curriculum as per the industry needs. In EduWind, universities, research centers and industry partners from Norway, Canada, India and USA is developing long-term international partnerships to actively respond to the aforementioned challenge.
The core idea of the project is centered around the concept of “Circular Education Development”, which refers a closed-loop relationship between the course contents (taught at educational institutes) and state-of-the art research aimed at solving the industrial needs/problems. In this project we intend to develop methodologies for shortening the time duration for bringing results of new research into the educational curriculum. As a use case we intend to strengthen the quality of education and research within the field of Cyberphysical Systems (CPS) in wind farms; the same concept can be applied to any other branch of RE education.
The main objectives of the project are:
- Quality enhancement of study programs by reduced time duration for course development.
- Expand collaborative research in CPS of wind turbines by joint supervision of MSc and Ph.D. students.
- University-industry cooperation for the development of micro-courses and life-long learning courses for employee skills upgrade.
- Networking – establishing international research groups/network for future collaborations, including applications for funding.
