Capacidad para diseñar un rotor eólico. Capacidad para proyectar conceptualmente un parque eólico y analizar su viabilidad.
1. Discriminate between the different kinds of wind turbines, their characteristics, applications, limitations, and historic evolution.
2. Understand the origin of the wind resource at global and local scales and the methods to measure and characterise the wind with simple mathematical models. Estimate the maximum available wind power from wind data.
3. Identify and justify the different architectures and components of wind turbine systems, with focus on horizontal axis wind turbines.
4. Understand the basic aerodynamics principles which are the fundamentals for the generation of power due to the interaction between the wind and rotor blades. Apply the BEM theory to the conceptual design of a wind turbine and justify the control methodologies used in these systems.

Promoting the continuous improvement of working and study conditions of the entire university community is one the basic principles and goals of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena. Such commitment to prevention and the responsibilities arising from it concern all realms of the university: governing bodies, management team, teaching and research staff, administrative and service staff and students. The UPCT Service of Occupational Hazards (Servicio de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales de la UPCT) has published a "Risk Prevention Manual for new students" (Manual de acogida al estudiante en materia de prevención de riesgos), which may be downloaded from the e-learning platform ("Aula Virtual"), with instructions and recommendations on how to act properly, from the point of view of prevention (safety, ergonomics, etc.), when developing any type of activity at the University. You will also find recommendations on how to proceed in an emergency or if an incident occurs. Particularly when carrying out training practices in laboratories, workshops or field work, you must follow all your teacher's instructions, because he/she is the person responsible for your safety and health during practice performance. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and do not put your safety or that of your classmates at risk.
