Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
- Wind power generation systems
Objectives
- Acquire adequate knowledge of industrial management of projects and companies of renewable energies. - Direct, plan and supervise multidisciplinary teams that design or execute renewable energy projects. - Conduct research, development and innovation in products, processes and methods related to renewable energies. - Carry out strategic planning and apply it to renewable energy systems. - To manage technically and economically projects, facilities, plants, companies and technological centers related to renewable energies. - Knowledge of regulations that directly affect the use of renewable energies worldwide, as well as their origin, validity and application. - Knowledge of the criteria of quality of supply and ability to project and provide sufficient means to meet them. - Knowledge about evaluation of wind resource - Ability to evaluate the feasibility and manage projects and companies of renewable energies.
Description of contents: programme
- Overview: the wind farm project - The Site pre-selection - The characterization of wind resource: Fundamentals, measurements, analysis, modelling and production estimation - The identification of project technical constraints - The processing of the electrical connection - The electrical configuration of the wind farm and its connection - Development of project engineering - The environmental processing - The selection of technology. Procurement process - Construction of wind farm - Operation and Maintenance
Learning activities and methodology
The assessment method will consist of lectures and presentation by students of the proposed works. The lectures are given by proffesionals, specialists in renewable plant project develpment. In addition, students must complete an stage of a wind farm project and the results of this task must be presented and defended in class. In this way, it is intended to promote the student participation in the class and evaluate their ability to carry out a wind farm project.
