Objectives
COMPETENCES THAT THE STUDENT ACQUIRES WITH THIS SUBJECT CB6 Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas, often in a research context CB7 That students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of ¿¿study CB8 That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments CB9 That students know how to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that support them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way CB10 That students possess the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous. CG2 Acquire adequate knowledge of electrical engineering and areas that have application here. CG4 Project, calculate and design renewable energy products, processes, facilities and plants. CG5 Direct, plan and supervise multidisciplinary teams that design or execute renewable energy projects. CE2 Knowledge of the regulations that directly affect the use of renewable energies worldwide, as well as their origin, their validity and their application. CE10 Knowledge of the requirements for the integration of renewable energies in the electricity markets. CE11 Ability to design the integration of renewable energies in electricity markets. CE12 Knowledge of electrical systems planning taking into account the integration of renewable energies. CE13 Know how the operation of electrical networks with renewable energies is carried out. CE18 Knowledge of the fundamentals of electricity markets CE19 Knowledge of complementary services and the markets that regulate them CE20 Knowledge of remuneration and income from renewable energies LEARNING RESULTS acquired by the student: - Ability to participate in the planning of electrical systems taking into account the integration of renewable energies. - Ability to apply the regulation that determines the remuneration and income from renewable generation in Spain and in other neighboring countries. - Being able to determine the positive and negative points of the different rules and regulations, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the different existing support mechanisms. - Ability to apply network analysis tools to real cases that are required in renewable energy integration studies. - Acquisition of skills to search for complex and specific information on regulations and legislation, on issues related to renewable energy. - Ability to determine the problems of integration of renewable energies, and the solutions to these problems, at an economic and regulatory level.
