Hydraulic Energies, although their use dates back to antiquity, are still in use and the professional to be constantly up to date"

The renewable energy sector is in full international expansion and is increasingly demanding engineers specialized in this field. Therefore, the best professionals in the sector have designed for TECH this postgraduate certificate that aims to train professionals with advanced knowledge in everything that encompasses the renewable energy sector to increase their working position in today's energy market.

Therefore, this postgraduate certificate will provide a historical approach to the use and exploitation of Hydraulic Energy, which has been used since ancient times to exploit this energy resource and use it for different purposes. In this sense, students will be instructed in its use to produce electricity, which is based on the transformation, thanks to a hydraulic turbine, of the kinetic energy of a water current into mechanical rotational energy, and of this into electrical energy by means of a generator.

During the specialization, the topic of mini and micro hydropower plants will also be discussed, which are smaller, do not require the construction of large dams and have a much lower environmental impact than that associated with traditional hydropower, are easy and cheap to install and have greater growth possibilities. This will be of great help in understanding how to adapt the use of Hydropower according to each specific case and will provide skills to the engineering professional.

Finally, the concept of electricity generated from hydroelectric power and its high quality will be addressed, which is an irreplaceable technology, in the sense that, as its production can be adjusted in a very short time to the variations of the demand curve, it contributes greatly to the improvement in the operation and control of the electric power system.

A complete update that will provide you with the working capacity of a specialist in the field”
