Introduction to the Program
Renewable energies are a growing sector that increasingly requires professionals trained in the field who can promote their use and achieve more efficient results"
The renewable energy sector is in full international expansion and is increasingly demanding engineers specialized in this field. For this reason, the best professionals in the sector have designed this complete Postgraduate Certificate that aims to train professionals with advanced knowledge in everything that encompasses the renewable energy sector to increase their working position in today's energy market.
This Postgraduate Certificate will address the energy problem in its entirety. Primary and final energy flows and consumption will be defined and analyzed, as well as the amount of energy resources currently available.
During the program, they will also consider possible future scenarios, both on a global and national scale, in which it becomes clear that energy and environmental sustainability require development and productivity models based on environmentally friendly technologies.
Therefore, the main objective of this Postgraduate Certificate is to learn about the energy and environmental situation in Spain and the world, analyzing in some cases what the evolution of the different energies has been and to analyze the perspectives within the necessary energy transition.
On the other hand, and taking into account the current energy context, we will study the role of renewable energies, which are generated continuously and are inexhaustible on a human scale, and can reduce the levels of polluting emissions caused by the use of fossil fuels within the world energy mix, thus mitigating the effects of energy generation and consumption on climate change.
The Postgraduate Certificate will also cover the different parts of electricity systems: generation, transmission and distribution networks and consumption. As well as, distributed energy, electricity storage and active demand-side management as part of smart grids. In this context, the student will recognize the importance of an electricity system for decarbonization and to understand its operation at the technological, regulatory and electricity market levels.
Therefore, this TECH Postgraduate Certificate in Renewable Energies and their Current Environment will provide you with an in-depth knowledge of the global context, as well as the technical, managerial and economic aspects of the complete cycle of renewable energy projects. With this knowledge, you will become highly competitive in the Renewable Energy industry.
Improving your skills in Renewable Energies will give you a boost to your professional career, with greater intervention capacity and better results"
