Topic 1- Introduction to Grid-connected PV systems (GCPV)
- Review of the GCPV overview.
- General information on GCPV: photovoltaic generator, inverter, AC and DC protections, control system and data display.
- Possible configurations of a GCPV: central inverter, string oriented inverter and module integrated inverter.
- Summary of the applicable legislation in Spain for this type of systems.
Topic 2- Sizing of GCPV (I). Photovoltaic generator and inverter
- Inverter sizing: inverter power depending on the PV generator and system location.
- Sizing of the PV generator: a) minimum and maximum number of modules to be connected in series in each string and b) choice of the number of strings of modules to be associated in parallel.
- Practical example
Topic 3- GCPV sizing (II). Wiring, safety and protections
- Conductor cross-section sizing: maximum voltage drop criterion and maximum admissible current criterion.
- Dimensioning of circuit breakers. Practical examples. Design of the grounding network of the installation. Generator grounding connection diagrams. Protection of persons against direct and indirect contacts in the DC network: risk analysis; protection measures.
- Design of protection against overvoltages in the DC and AC network: external protection; internal protection; specification and installation of surge arresters.
- Design of overcurrent protection: fuse protection; circuit breaker protection; specification and installation of protective devices.
Topic 4- Energy balance of GCPV systems. Use of GCPV simulation and sizing software.
- Application of the UNE 61724:2021 standard.
- Basic principles of use of a professional software widely used in the sector, oriented to the design and production estimation of this type of systems (Practical Sessions).
Topic 5- Professional experience in the field of conventional electric power generation using PV technology (External Presentation)

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support
A single test evaluation procedure will be used both in the ordinary and extraordinary call of the subject.
At the same time, part of the practical knowledge of the subject may be passed per course and be included in the overall grade. For this, the student must compulsorily attend the practical sessions on PVSYST (or the software determined by the teacher) and carry out/submit, on an individual basis, a project of a networked system using this software.
In the case that the student cannot attend the PRACTICAL LESSONS or does not pass the course, he/she will be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge either by solving additional practical exercises or in the final exam of the course, which will contain a section related to the practical sessions.
In any case, in order to pass the course, it is mandatory to pass the exam.

| Industria, innovación e infraestructura |
The subject of this course deals with the design of solar photovoltaic systems, so it is closely linked to SDG 7: "Affordable and clean energy".
On the other hand, the design deals with real systems that have their direct application in industry, so this subject is also related to SDG 9: "Industry, innovation and infrastructure".

A1. Large group lectures *M2. Lecture by photovoltaic industry professional or exper t |
Onsite |
1 two-hour session where an expert from the sector will speak on practical and/or business aspects of the subject. Given the formative interest for students to interact with professionals in the sector, an effort will be made to reserve a classroom that allows the activity to be carried out in person. If this is not possible, it will be carried out with a maximum percentage of attendance and will be broadcast by videoconference for the rest of the group |
|
A14. Technical Visits |
Onsite |
1 session of 4 hours in which a visit to a PV plant/laboratory will be made. As it is an activity that takes place outdoors and in a large place, all safety measures can be ensured. |
|
A2- Practice group classes. *M10 ICT tools |
Onsite (50%) |
3 sessions of participative lectures, each lasting two hours, held in the laboratory and supported by computer, where the student will be trained on the fundamental aspects related to the use of professional software for the design of photovoltaic systems. It will be transmitted by videoconference to the rest of the group and students will be rotated periodically. |
|
A2- Practice group classes. *M6 Practical activities |
Onsite + Online |
3 practical sessions of 2 hours duration where the student, applying all previous theoretical knowledge, will carry out a basic project of a grid-connected photovoltaic system using professional software tools. They will be carried out in the laboratory, always respecting the maximum capacity of the laboratory, and will be completed with online teaching in both synchronous (videoconference) and asynchronous (video recording, email, etc.) modalities. |
