General description A materia pretende dar unha introdución ás microredes eléctricas e aos sistemas de xeración empregados nelas, achegando os fundamentos e aspectos máis importantes que abordan as diferentes tecnoloxías empregadas nos sistemas de xeración distribuída.
Introdúcese a importancia e as características dos sistemas de xeración descentralizada en comparación cos sistemas convencionais.
Por último, estúdanse os sistemas híbridos que agrupan dúas ou máis tecnoloxías de xeración e almacenamento de enerxía, así como os sistemas de coxeración e trixeración.

Assessment comments

Full-time and part-time students will be evaluated equally, both in the 1st and 2nd opportunity, as well as in the extraordinary one.

The student is reminded of the importance of deadlines when submitting work, as well as the importance of complying with the rules and regulations of the UDC, and referencing all documentation and content not prepared by the student. Specifically, the fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the qualification of failing "0" in the subject, in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any qualification obtained in all the evaluation activities for the extraordinary summons
