During this three-day course, students will assemble and erect a short, 60-foot guyed tilt-up tower that was constructed at the previous "Wind Turbine Design and Construction" course at the MREA, along with the wind turbine that was built there. We will also install a temporary battery-based power system and hope for some wind! It's suggested that students who take "Wind Turbine Design and Construction" also take this installation class. It will be a "crash course" on wind turbine installation basics, wind turbine siting, tower safety, and tilt up tower design. The course will be approximately 30% classroom time, and 70% work in the field. At the end of the course, we will disassemble the tower and the system.

This course is not designed to make you a "qualified wind turbine installer," but it will provide some good hands-on experience, and for folks who really want to install a wind turbine at home it will provide a great deal of valuable information. Please see the Midwest Renewable Energy Association website for more information.
