Wind energy is on the rise and increasingly requires educated professionals who can enhance its use and achieve more efficient results"

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 this complete program that aims to prepare professionals with high knowledge in everything that encompasses the renewable energy sector, specifically in wind energy, to increase their working position in today's energy market.
 
Specifically, this program will help the engineer to understand the process in which the kinetic energy of the air is captured by means of wind turbines, until it is converted into rotational kinetic energy and transformed into electrical energy through the use of generators. During the program, the fundamentals of Wind Energy extraction and wind behavior (fluid dynamics) will be defined, as well as the maintenance, operation and components of wind turbines (commonly called turbines). Finally, the two types of wind energy; onshore wind energy and offshore wind energy, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each type will be studied.

On the other hand, the curriculum of this program is based on making the student understand how wind energy is converted into energy and transported to the power grid. To this end, the specialization will focus on; defining the behavior, characteristics and potential of wind, identifying the principle of operation, the different components of wind turbines and differentiating between on-shore and off-shore Wind Energy.

In addition, we will study in depth its environmental impact and how to mitigate it through a good project design that allows obtaining an optimal performance with a low impact.

For all these reasons, this Wind Energy program integrates the most complete and innovative educational program in the current market in terms of knowledge and latest available technologies, as well as encompassing all the sectors or parties involved in this field. In addition, the program consists of exercises based on real cases of situations currently managed or previously faced by the teaching team.

Improving your skills in Wind Energy will give you a boost to your professional career, with greater intervention capacity and better results"

This postgraduate diploma in postgraduate diploma contains the most complete and up-to-date educational program on the market. The most important features of the specialization are:

• Practical case studies presented by experts
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies

Learn about and apply the latest advances in Wind Energy in your daily practice and give your resume a valuable boost"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from sector who contribute their work experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training that is programmed to train students in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year. For this purpose, the professional will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced engineering experts.  

You will have innovative didactic materials and resources that will facilitate the learning process and the retention of the contents learned for a longer period of time"

A 100% online program that will allow you to combine your studies with the rest of your daily activities"

TECH has designed this comprehensive postgraduate diploma with the aim of preparing engineering professionals to be able to design, implement and work on Wind Energy projects, knowing in depth everything related to this industry and the aspects of sustainability and climate change in the international arena that directly affect it. To this end, specific aspects of energy systems will be addressed, which are of enormous importance in today's business landscape, and for which large corporations are increasingly demanding competent engineers with a solid specialized education.

With this program, TECH has only one goal: to help you grow in your profession and become a renowned engineer"
