When and Where: May 6-8, Chadron, Nebraska
Instructors: Dan Bartmann and Dan Fink

Wind turbines need smooth, fast-moving air to live up to their potential. The only place to find that is high in the air, up on a tall tower. But towers are extremely complicated to fabricate, and dangerous to erect, especially if you've never had hands-on experience.

This intensive multi-day hands-on class covers tower types, the theory of tower design, tower foundation design and engineering, rigging, wind turbine installation and balance of system, and culminates with raising a wind turbine on a tilt-up tower.

Agenda:

• Fabricate tilt-up tower couplings and tower-top stub;
  
• Assemble, adjust and test-raise tower;
  
• Install and raise 12-foot diameter wind turbine;
  
• Install balance of system components;
  
• Install wind data acquisition system;
  
• Raise tower and turbine;
  
• The class will be about 1/4 lecture, 3/4 hands-on.
  

Immediately following this class, we are teaching an Introduction to Off Grid Power Systems class at the same location. The week before this class, we are teaching the intensive, hands-on class Wind Turbine Design and Construction, where the wind turbine to be installed at this class will be fabricated.
