Full course description
Course start: October 1, 2025
Hydrogen is gaining importance as a sustainable energy carrier in the ongoing green energy transition. Wind power plays a decisive role in producing green hydrogen. Integrating hydrogen production directly into wind farms makes it possible to capitalise on fluctuating electricity prices while contributing to the stability of an increasingly renewable-based power system. This synergy creates opportunities for cost-effective hydrogen production, energy storage in the form of hydrogen, and enhanced grid flexibility. The course explores the concept of integrated wind/hydrogen systems, introducing technical, economic, and systemic aspects of combining wind power and hydrogen production into a robust, long-term, sustainable, and competitive energy solution

Course structure
This fully digital course includes pre-recorded lectures, interactive webinars and Assignments. Participants can access the materials at their own pace, enabling flexible learning. Specific components like live Q&A sessions or seminars will be scheduled to enhance interaction and in-depth understanding.
You will learn
Upon completion, participants will understand how wind power and hydrogen can be combined into an integrated energy system. They will gain insight into the technical, economic, and regulatory factors influencing the feasibility of pairing wind energy with hydrogen production. Additionally, learners will deepen their understanding of energy storage and grid flexibility and the role these elements play in driving the green transition.
Who is the course for?
This course targets professionals in the energy and environmental sectors, including policymakers, project managers, engineers, and consultants interested in renewable energy, hydrogen, and sustainable energy systems. It is also suitable for politicians, public administrators, and strategists involved in sustainability initiatives and energy planning. The content can benefit researchers and software engineers focusing on green solutions and digital tools. While no extensive technical background is required, a basic understanding of energy systems and sustainability concepts is recommended.
As an introductory course, this program outlines a path for continuous learning. After completing the course, participants can pursue a deeper specialisation in topics related to wind power, hydrogen production, and integrated energy systems.
