This course will
cover the design of interfaces using topologies based on power electronics for photovoltaic
and wind applications. Also, the course
will incorporate algorithms for Maximum Power Point Tracking; control of
photovoltaic and wind systems, and its applications. Finally, it will be discussed several topics
related to: energy storage devices, designs, regulation and safety issues
related to renewable energy systems. As part of the course, it will be
discussed different types of renewable energy systems like thermoelectric, photovoltaic,
wind, fuel cells among others.
