Systems with the capacity to store electrical energy are considered essential in the energy transition to a sustainable model. Learn all about them with this TECH Postgraduate certificate"

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 Postgraduate Certificate that aims to help professionals with high knowledge in everything that encompasses the renewable energy sector to increase their working position in today’s energy market.

Specifically, this Postgraduate Certificate will discuss systems with the capacity to store electrical energy, which are considered essential in the energy transition towards a sustainable model, especially in those models based on solar and wind energy generation, renewable sources with variable resources.

The interest in its application in the energy sector has increased significantly in recent years due to the strong cost reduction favored by the high demand in other sectors such as Consumer Electronics or Electric Mobility, with which it also tends to converge in many points.

Although the first technologies emerged almost simultaneously with the electrical industry itself in the 19th century, for many years their application was (for the most part) limited to supporting and powering small systems with limited autonomy.
However, in recent decades a wide variety of new forms of storage have emerged. They offer differentiated characteristics that make them suitable for multiple applications. The European Patent Office (EPO) recently highlighted that in the last ten years the annual increase rate of patent applications related to storage technologies is four times higher than that of other technologies.

For all these reasons, the program will focus on lithium-ion based battery systems, which are set to dominate the industry in the next ten years, and which have a series of particularities that make it particularly interesting to know the most relevant functional details to be able to integrate them in different scenarios in energy generation and management.
