Module/Subject matter
Electricity generation
Módulo MTEE (Módulo de Tecnología Específica Electricidad) / Materia M53 - Generación Eléctrica.
La asignatura es obligatoria para aquellos estudiantes que cursan la Especialidad Electricidad, dentro del Grado en Ingeniería en Tecnologías Industriales.
Contents
The contents of this subject focus on understanding the fundamentals of wind and solar photovoltaic energy. For both types of systems, their configuration, the problems of their grid integration, their isolated operation, the different architectures and conversion topologies employed and the control systems are studied. In the case of wind systems, the operation principle of wind generators with synchronous machine and doubly-fed machine is developed. For photovoltaic systems, the main conversion topologies used in the photovoltaic industry are studied, with special attention to those connected to the grid. Finally, the main aspects of the wind and photovoltaic markets are also presented, both at the level of companies, implementation, technologies, costs and trends.

Minimum required grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8 | Exam: Theory and exercises | 80%, divided into two exams (Photovoltaic Systems and Wind Systems), with a 40% weight each. A minimum mark of 4,5 in each exam is required to pass the subject. | Yes | 4,5 |
| R1, R2, R5, R6 | Laboratory sessions: Tests and presentation | 20%, divided into the two laboratory blocks (Photovoltaic Systems and Wind Systems), with a 10% weight each. The attendance and participation in the laboratory sessions is required to pass the subject. In case of an unjustified absence, the final mark will be "Absent". | Yes | - |
Concerning the second-chance examination, only the failed block will be re-evaluated. Again, a minimum mark of 4,5 in each theory exam is required to pass the subject.
Agenda
Experimental practice program
The experimental practice program includes the design and simulation of a photovoltaic system and a wind system. The work is developped in the Laboratory of Simulation and in the Laboratory of Power Electronics and Renewable Energies, both located in the Pinos Building, 1st floor.
The program includes a team competition, focusing on the design of an efficient photovoltaic system for a given solar conditions. The winner obtains a mark of 10 in the laboratory sessions of the photovoltaic block.
Finally, the program includes a visit to a factory where the photovoltaic and wind converters are manufactured, with the objective that the students learn about the real applications studied in the lectures.
