You will learn all about the components and operation of an offshore wind power plant, whose momentum has been growing in recent years" 

In this course, the characteristics of wind and how it can be harnessed to generate electricity are explained. Thus, the variables of the wind resource and how it influences electricity generation are analyzed. Therefore, it addresses the operation of wind turbines and how they are affected by the different operating variables to which they are subjected. Likewise, it delves into the study of the different parts that make up the wind turbines, and the auxiliary systems associated with them.

Due to the current proliferation of wind farms, the feasibility of building a wind farm will be broken down, from its location to the expected energy production.

On the other hand, the use of offshore wind power for electricity generation is being promoted lately, so TECH will pay special attention to the components of this type of power plant, which, although the basis of operation is the same, differ significantly from conventional wind farms.

A fundamental part of offshore wind farms are the wind turbine supports, so the different types currently existing will be discussed in depth in order to make a technical-economic comparison between them. And as this is an expanding resource, we will discuss power generation plants associated with other types of marine resources, such as waves, oceanic gradients, the osmotic gradient and the use of marine currents.

Finally, the program is completed with a breakdown of the state-of-the-art technology and techniques of wave power generation plants.

In addition, as it is a 100% online Postgraduate certificate, it provides the student with the ease of being able to take it comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality in line with the current times with all the guarantees to position the professional in a highly demanded area in continuous change, in line with the SDGs promoted by the UN.
