Wind turbines for Madagascar from the University of Sherbrooke

Students in electrical, mechanical and civil engineering as well as students in business and administration put together their expertise for the Great Island in order to develop in the country a prototype of wind turbines. “What is interesting about this project is its reproducibility”, says the honorable sponsor of the project, Rene Deschênes, from the company NSW-Contrôle.

Still better, according to Cyber-press Inc., the idea to work with a university in the capital of Madagascar has sprouted in the head of the Green Engineering Group in 2003 whose objective is to implement various projects tending to raise public awareness and to reduce residual materials.

Quoted from the same source, Harmattan II project participant and doctoral student of civil engineering at the University of Sherbrooke, Bruno Gagnon, said: “We designed the project in mechanical engineering. However, we lacked the components of electrical and civil engineering. But now, the team is complete and we will realize the project in the field”.
