About the Course
Unlock the power of scientific programming to advance wind resource assessment. This course equips participants with practical skills in Python and its scientific ecosystem—including NumPy, pandas, xarray, and geopandas—as well as QGIS for geospatial data handling. You’ll learn to perform robust numerical wind resource assessments using specialised tools like Windkit and PyWAsP, gaining hands-on experience in processing, analysing, and visualising wind data.
After this course, you can
Develop and apply scientific programming techniques tailored to wind resource assessment.
Use Python and QGIS to process and interpret reanalysis, terrain, and wind measurement datasets.
Perform advanced numerical analyses with Windkit and PyWAsP to evaluate wind resources and support wind energy project development.
Build a comprehensive understanding of the methodologies, data sources, and best practices fundamental to modern wind resource assessment.
Ideal for programmers and engineers eager to bridge the gap between software development and renewable energy analytics, this course provides the tools and knowledge needed to contribute effectively to wind energy projects.
3 weeks, hybrid, part-time
1. Basic experience with Python and its scientific programming stack.

“Europe’s leader in wind energy”
“I chose to enrol in this wind energy master's program because DTU is the leading technical university in Europe, renowned for its specialization in wind energy. The program reflects the state of the art of the sector. Before joining, I knew some of their software programmes like WAsP and the Global Wind Atlas. So I was confident about the quality of the training.”
