This unit standard is for people who work with renewable energy systems and covers the design process of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) including design requirements and wind and site analysis.
People credited with this unit standard are able to:
- determine design requirements for a WECS;
- determine characteristics of the major local winds;
- analyse wind speed and direction data;
- use data to select a suitable site for a WECS; and
- specify the size, characteristics, and system configuration of a WECS to provide a given WECS fraction to a load at a site with specified wind speed data in accordance with Standards.
