The student will be able to familiarize with the problems related to energy efficiency considering the energy needs of industrial users and the service sector. Information and methodologies will be provided to understand the issues of distributed generation regarding electricity generation from renewable sources, photovoltaic and wind, and the different energy storage systems. For the aforementioned systems, the problems that underlie the choices of the grid connection systems and the active systems to reduce the causes of pollution of the grid itself will be illustrated.
