PhD Letters for Scholarship 2011 – Denmark

When the Letters for Scholarship College of Advanced Technology was founded in 1829, Denmark had its first MSc programme in Engineering at a high academic level. The Letters for Scholarship College changed its name to Danish Technical College in 1933 and finally became the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in 1994. DTU has always had a strong theoretical grounding. H.C. Ørsted, the man who discovered electromagnetism, founded the College in the image of École Polytechnique in France. The Letters for Scholarship objective was to educate young men to work in industry, but in the beginning DTU was not able to teach practice, so the college mainly educated technical teachers.

Wind power technology, the most competitive renewable energy technology, is quickly developing. The Letters for Scholarship size of individual wind turbine continues to grow and the penetration of wind power into power grid is increasing rapidly. Consequently, the impact of wind turbines on electric power security and quality becomes more and more important and presents great challenges and demands on wind turbine performance.Letters for Scholarship in order to provide reliable and high quality power, the wind turbine should be appropriately designed and controlled to present the desired characteristics. Clearly, good modelling and simulation techniques are cost-effective methods to investigate the wind turbine performance and to optimize the design and control of wind turbines.
