Course leader

Matthias Raab, Abdulkarim Abdulrazek

Target group

develop your understanding of wind energy use
• understand the aerodynamics of wind turbines as
well as control strategies
• calculate the annual energy yield and choose the
suitable, most economic wind turbine
• get first-hand market info
• do the matchmaking with the German and international industry

Course aim

We are cooperating with partaking wind companies and have 1:1 matchmaking sessions and site-visits.
Our SRH-accredited main trainer Mr. Abdulkarim Abdulrazek of University Oldenburg has 16 years of experience in international project and construction management, wind energy consulting and engineering, acted more than 10 years in
wind energy research and has conducted wind tunnel experiments and installations in several countries like Germany, North Korea, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Mongolia and Indonesia.
Furthermore Mr. Karim is specialized in the design and optimization of testing facilities for small wind turbines following the IEC 61400-2 standard, constructed wind measurement systems on meteorological masts and knows how to run QM systems.
