Due to its economic importance, in this program you will learn how the life cycle of electricity generating plants evolves, with a view to an optimal construction and operation"

In order to approach the construction of an electric power generating plant, it is necessary to know what type of contracting is used for its execution. Therefore, this postgraduate certificate in Construction and Operation of Electricity Production and Generation Power Plants analyzes the different types of contracting that exist, with their different characteristics.

In view of the boom in renewable energies and the international agreements on emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere, we will see how these are integrated into the Electricity Market. Likewise, the student will learn to analyze the maintenance guidelines to which the different types of existing steam generators are subjected.

On the other hand, it covers in detail the maintenance to be performed on turbines and engines to optimize their productivity and operation. Thus, the program addresses the guidelines to be followed to optimize the operation of wind farms, the different types of failures to which they may be subjected and the various maintenance strategies that exist.

Likewise, the maintenance of nuclear power plants is evaluated at the level of structures, systems and components; together with the criteria and evaluation of their performance. The maintenance to be carried out on the different elements that are part of the photovoltaic production plants is also structured. At the same time, the program will also go in depth into the optimization of the maintenance of the different equipment that make up a hydraulic power plant.

Due to its economic importance, the life cycle of electricity generating plants is described in detail. Finally, the associated energy evacuation system that every power generation plant must have, together with the associated protections, is analyzed.

In addition, as it is a 100% online, program, it provides the student with the ease of being able to study it comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality in line with the current times with all the guarantees to position the professional in a highly demanded area in continuous change, in line with the SDGs promoted by the UN.
