Wind Energy and Turbine Technology
Associate of Applied Science Degree |
|
In the Wind Energy Technology Program, you'll learn to operate and maintain
the systems that make a wind turbine function whether it's an electrical,
pneumatic, communications, computer, control or hydraulic system. Plus, at
TSTC West Texas, we have our very own wind turbine! The TSTC West Texas
turbine is the first, full-scale, 60 cycle, 2 megawatt turbine built by the
DeWind Corporation. The turbine has a drive train that features a
combination of a torque converter and a synchronous generator that is an
industry first. The stylish nacelle was designed by Porsche. It will be part
of your learning experience and an exciting hands-on training opportunity.
You'll also learn all about SCADA (that stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition). It's the utility industry standard computerized system that controls the wind tower network. You'll also find that knowledge of all the systems you'll learn in the Wind Energy Technology Program is important not only to wind energy but also to many other types of companies in the utility industry. That means that as a graduate you will have varied career options. | |
