Beyond the technical aspects and the safety of the installation, betting on ecological foundation techniques for ground facilities is becoming more common, to avoid the presence of concrete and to encourage subsequent processes for the recycling of structural materials. Besides, architecturally-integrated installations are also increasing their presence inside the buildings containing them, both as shaped skylights and as photovoltaic tiles or rails. This aspect constitudes one of the most promising challenges in the field of the main manufacturers' R+D+i activities.Competencies and learning outcomesGeneral competenciesAcquire a mindset committed to the environment, the use of energy resources, and optimization of electrical generation and consumption.Ability to search for, acquire, and manage information on all levels, including scientific and technical literature, patent databases, economic indicators, and legislation.Ability to use tools related to information and communications technology.Know how to function successfully in new market environments or under conditions different from those studied.Promote entrepreneurship and business creation among students so they use the resources available to them in developing viable business models.Ability to work on multidisciplinary and/or international teams, using collaborative tools.Ability to edit and write projects related to renewable energy.Specific competenciesAbility to analyze and design monitoring and control systems of renewable energy based on solutions available on the market.Ability to design, maintain, and perform worksite management at facilities producing electricity from various renewable energy sources.Ability to understand and know how to apply innovation in the field of renewable energy.Ability to know how to interpret and apply the Spanish technical building code (CTE) as far as energy efficiency is concerned.Ability to understand and apply legal and tax aspects as well as the procedures required in the energy sector, and more specifically, in the renewable energy sector.Ability to understand and propose alternatives and/or innovations in the technology used for the incorporation of different renewable energies in electrical networks.Ability to perform structural calculations for support systems of different renewable energy installations.Ability to understand and know how to apply the basic principles of electrotechnics, electronics, and mechanics in renewable energy systems.Knowledge about different manufacturers and technologies available for different renewable energies, knowing how to distinguish and prioritize between different qualities and prices, depending upon the ultimate application.Objectives (Learning outcomes)Knowing the different types of structures present on the installations.Knowing how to interpret calculation notes both for rooftops and ground structures.Diseñar la arquitectura de un parque solar en función de los requisitos del proyecto.Knowing the work environment of Cype software.Understanding the relevance of the structure inside the value chain of the photovoltaic project.ContentsLecture topicsTeaching unitsInstalaciones en cubiertaInstalaciones en sueloHíbridos cubierta-suelo: PérgolasEl entorno CypeLa estructura en la cadena de valor del proyecto fotovoltaicoCourse contentsBasic bibliographyComplementary bibliographyLinksSoftwareCYPE 2015Methodology and gradingMethodologyCase studies: Learning through the analysis of actual or simulated cases in order to interpret and resolve them by employing various alternative solution procedures.Lecture: Pass on knowledge and activate cognitive processes in students, encouraging their participation.Project-based learning: Realization of a project to solve a problem, applying acquired learning and promoting abilities related to planning, design, performing activities, and reaching conclusions.Solving exercises and problems: Exercise, test, and apply previous knowledge through routine repetition.GradingNO HAY DATOAssessment test characteristicsNot applicableCorrection criteriaEl profesor corregirá ambas pruebas sobre 10, restando a 10 los errores cometidos.Los tipos de error estarán jerarquizados de la manera siguiente: -2 para los errores de mayor relieve, -1 para los intermedios y -0,5 para los menos importantes.Additional requirementsNot applicable
