Objetivos
At the end of this Curricular Unit, the student will be able to:
Describe the environmental impact of non-renewable and renewable sources, their capacity and limitations.
Know the applicable legislation in the case of production from renewable sources and the evolution that gave rise to the current legislation.
Characterize renewable resources.
Being able to establish models from which to calculate the producible energy from the studied resources.
Make calculations applicable to the economic evaluation of investments in renewable energy.
Know the current technologies used in electrical energy storage and its need when it is produced from renewable sources with very varied and unpredictable production profiles.
Know and apply the tools that make it possible to make a project for the production of electricity on a renewable basis.
Develop a project to integrate renewable energy based on photovoltaic technology.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
A project will be carried out in the areas of RE with the aim of providing students with tools that they can apply in their professional life. Investment evaluations will be carried out so that the investments can also be evaluated. A final research and application work will be done.
