Presentation
This course aims to frame renewable energy in the context of energy, in general, and in electrical energy in particular. The course is oriented towards the production of electrical energy from renewable sources, generically addressing the main technologies in the present and in the future: Hydro, wind, solar, oceanic, geothermal and biomass. The course also addresses the importance that renewable energies will have in the development of the hydrogen market.

Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
In theoretical classes, knowledge will be simultaneously transmitted either through formal exposition of the course contents or through interpolative methods, raising theoretical questions related to the course subject, with the aim of encouraging student intervention and participation. In theoretical-practical classes, students will be encouraged to solve problems on worksheets relating to the various themes covered in the theoretical classes of this course.
