Certified Windsmith Education & Training Program

The Wind Energy Institute will develop the curriculum for the Certified Windsmith training program in association with our education partners. In addition, we will either grant, award and/or certify the degree/diploma of Certified Windsmith through our education partners and list our graduates and support them at the www.CertifiedWindsmith.com website.

Our suggested Curriculum for the Certified Windsmith Diploma includes the following:

  • Electrical Circuit Fundamentals
  • Electrical Circuit Fundamentals Lab
  • DC Circuits
  • AC Circuits
  • Introduction to Wind Turbines & Wind Energy Conversion Systems
  • Wind Turbine Generators: Synchronous Generators/Asynchronous Generators
  • Doubly-fed Induction generators
  • Fluid Power Hydraulic Theory
  • Wind Energy Fundamentals
  • Wind Energy OSHA Standards
  • Basic Digital Circuits
  • The History of Windmills and Wind Energy Conversion Systems

The Wind Energy Institute will fund research and development of all practical wind energy technologies, as well as provide leadership in the areas of "Pollution Free Power," "Carbon Free Energy," and "green tags" also known as a Renewable Energy Credit.

The Wind Energy Institute will also conduct testing of wind energy technologies, that compare various manufacturers products' and determines which products have the highest efficiencies, and fastest returns on investment (ROI). And, the Wind Energy Institute will conduct "vendor-neutral" Engineering Feasibility and Economic Analysis, for specific renewable energy projects, for our customers, to determine the best technologies, and best equipment, for each new renewable energy project.

The Wind Energy Institute is a Non-Profit Texas company that has applied for 501 (c)(3) with the I.R.S. The Wind Energy Institute is "Changing The Way The World Does Energy" by Providing Research & Development, Funding And Resources That Create "Pollution Free Power," "Carbon Free Energy" & "Renewable Energy Technologies" whose results prove "we are driven by the wind.™"

Like the Bob Dylan song, we believe "the answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind," and we have a limited window of opportunity to capitalize on one of our nation's great natural resources - our wind!

The Wind Energy Institute funds, supports and advances the important research that leading professors, grad students and universities are conducting that will make America energy independent and end our dependence on foreign fossil fuels and particularly those foreign fossil fuels from countries that are not friendly to us.
