Handbook

Renewable Energy has become a real alternative to electricity generation based on fossil fuels due to their superior sustainability credentials and the low cost achieved during the last decade, thanks to heavy investment in research, development and large scale manufacturing. As such, renewable energy systems like solar, wind and hydro are expected to become the leading generation sources in the next decades and provide most of the energy needs for our society. These renewable energy systems must the integrated to the electrical network, so the energy can be used safely and efficiently where and when is needed the most.

This course will provide the fundamentals of power engineering, with focus on renewable energy systems, including the generation, transmission and distribution of renewable power.
