ECO-WIND - Enhancing Capacity in Condition-based Maintenance of Wind Energy

This project aims at enhancing expert workforce in the field of fault diagnosis, condition monitoring and maintenance of wind turbines and related components in the partner institutions by bringing innovation in higher education teaching and learning methods in wind energy and applied artificial intelligence for maintenance decisions, increasing its relevance for the labour market and the society as a whole. The project will help partners in Vietnam and Thailand to produce in-house human resources in the field of condition-based maintenance of wind energy making both the countries independent of external consultants. The main objective of the project is to implement real problem-based teaching and learning methods in the curriculum of HEIs of the partner countries. The expertise and know- how of the EU partner universities and their long- term teaching and research in this field would make this project objective archivable. Moreover, this project will build the capacity to produce graduates with independent, global insight, interdisciplinary expertise, competence in wind energy, and intercultural expertise. The project will also help the EU partners to renew their education in renewable energy and build a sustainable flow of students in both directions.
