    In the first of a special Renewable Energy Focus series looking at the key stages and processes involved in taking a wind project from A to Z, Gail Rajgor gives some rules of thumb that are vital from the offset, and takes a closer look at the all important issue of choosing the right site for your wind farm.
  • North East UK ready and waiting for renewable energy
    Making sense of UK renewable energy policy has been tricky in recent times. There remains a contradiction between the challenging target the Government has signed up to, and the sluggishness with which policies are put into place. But as David Hopwood found out on a recent trip to the north east UK, regional development in renewable energy technologies is still taking place, something which is vital to the UK's chance of catching up with countries like Spain and Germany.

Wind farm training courses in Turkey

24 August 2010

More training courses for wind farm installation will be offered throughout Turkey due to high demand, GL Garrad Hassan says.

Wind Farm Design and Introduction to GH WindFarmer courses will be conducted in Istanbul 28 and 29 September. A course on Financing Your Wind Farm will take place on 14 October.

Wind Farm Design is a one day course providing a detailed overview of the wind farm design process. It focuses issues such as wind flow, turbulence, wake effects, optimised energy production, and the use of sophisticated software tools.

Introduction to GH WindFarmer is a one day course which provides an understanding of the software; its functionality, main calculation abilities, and usability. It builds on the concepts learnt in the Wind Farm Design course, taking the methodologies discussed and applying them.

Financing Your Wind Farm is a one day course for professionals wanting to learn more about project finance technical due diligence within the wind industry.

Sule Erkoc, Head of GL Garrad Hassan Turkey, says: "Turkey is an exciting renewable energy market with great prospects. The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources aims to generate 20% of its electricity production from renewable resources by 2020. We reflect this development by the growing numbers of training courses now being delivered by GL Garrad Hassan. By training and developing the skills of engineering professionals in Turkey, we are helping to build a clean and renewable industry which the whole country can be proud of."
