Wind power study in a classroom

Just like solar power, wind power is getting more attention due to its ease of use and cost-effective installation. The small wind turbines represent a lot of decentralized production nodes that have to be taken into account in today’s electrical network.

Our wind power learning solutions come in a modular way which can also be mixed with other learning solutions. The packages start with an introduction to wind power using real wind turbine parts into a safe working environment along with our dynanometer that recreates realistic wind condition as well as the real power-torque curves. Once the introduction is done, student will experiment energy production to supply power to AC and DC loads.

Computerized tools made for learning

To guide students through their learning path, Festo Didactic provides state-of-the-art data acquisition tools for easy, safe and fast measurements in order to speed up the setup time but also reduce the downtime of using standard measuring instruments.

The Data Acquisition and Control Interface comes also with an oscilloscope, a phasor analyzer, a data table and a graph on specifically designed software optimized for learning purposes. In the same vein, the Dynamometer provided connects to your computer through USB using the same software in order to set it up quickly and easily to enhance the learning experience and recreates wind turbine conditions in the classroom environment.
