About the Trainer







Training References

1st Wind Energy Basics WEB training in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,

September 2018

Our first WEB training in Riyadh was quite successful and had much

recognition being the first wind energy training ever in Saudi Arabia and the gulf region. Most of our trainees were so pleased with the new and exciting

experience they got from our professional trainer Karim. The training had

insights on the wind energy status in Saudi Arabia and had the target to qualify passionate electrical, mechanical and civil engineers and project managers to

the promising such promising field in Saudi Arabia. Trainees did many

operation and control experiments using realistic wind turbines and understood the effects of variations on different electrical parameters.
