Technologies for renewable energies

Back to Syllabus

Description
This subject guides the student in an introduction to renewable energies, explaining the political context, summarizing production technologies, and the most widespread communication protocols and how to integrate it into Smart Buildings, Smart Cities and the Internet of Things (IoT). We will study the need to apply AI to optimize energy use and demands. Practices will be carried out with real elements, explaining their installation, connection and communication and we will work with Smart Cities monitoring applications and the processes and technologies required.

During the course, students will acquire the necessary knowledge to carry out a group practice that will focus on the management of the production and storage of energy.

Evaluation

The course will be evaluated based on:
1. Development and presentation of the project: The final project of the course will be developed and presented in a group
2. Individual questionnaires
3. Participation in classes and forums

Evaluation Criteria
Basic Bibliography

The course does not provide a citation reference because one of the goals is that students are autonomous in finding information. In any case, some links to materials that are used throughout the class sessions are given.
