As a supplement to this course, the school has organized a field trip to a local sino-foreign wind power company, Shanghai Electric Wind Energy Co. Ltd / Siemens Wind Power Turbines (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. Thanks to the guidance of Yi Zhang, an engineer of the company, the visitors have listened to the state of the art of wind power industry in China, as well as the history of the company. After the introduction, they were guided to visit the assembly workshop of 2.5 MW / 4 MW wind turbines. Finally, they have a close look at the testing wind farm on the shore of East China Sea. The field trip has offered the students an immediate and memorable impression on renewable energy system and local wind power industry.
