Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Wind power generation systems. Photovoltaic solar energy. Other renewable energies.
Objectives
- Know the rules and regulations that directly affect the use of renewable energy and its application. - Understand the requirements for the integration of renewable energies in the electricity markets. - Understand the fundamentals of the electricity markets, and know the complementary services and the markets that regulate them, for the adequate participation of renewable energies. - Know and differentiate the different support and remuneration mechanisms of renewable energies, determining their advantages and disadvantages. - Know the planning of electrical systems taking into account the integration of renewable energies. - Acquisition of search skills for complex and specific information on regulations and legislation, on issues related to renewable energy. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to: - Participate in the planning of electrical systems taking into account the integration of renewable energies. - Apply the regulation that determines remuneration and income from renewable generation in Spain and in other neighboring countries. - Apply to real cases of network analysis tools that are required in renewable energy integration studies. - Determine the problems of integration of renewable energies, and the solutions to those problems, at an economic and regulatory level.
