Learning outcomes |
The syllabus aims to provide students with fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge for the analysis and implementation of integrated production solutions based on renewable sources and electrical energy storage. It offers a broad and up-to-date overview of the different electrical energy storage technologies available on the market and frames them within energy production from renewable sources.
It also seeks to equip students with the necessary skills to carry out the sizing, planning, and optimal management of such systems.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching methodology is student-centered, fostering the development of critical thinking and active interaction with the lecturer. Classes are organized into three types: theoretical, theoretical-practical, and practical.
Theoretical classes are built on a solid scientific foundation, with the course content presented in a structured manner that encourages student participation and engagement. Theoretical-practical and practical classes, on the other hand, emphasize hands-on experience, allowing students to apply, experiment with, and validate the theoretical concepts previously learned.
Assessment is continuous and includes a written test (C1) and assignments completed throughout the semester (C2). The final grade (CF) is calculated using the following formula:
CF = 65% (C1 or exam) + 35% C2.
