Energy

The training proposal aims to create an innovative teaching lab for studying, simulating and experimenting with energy systems. The learning environment integrates modules and equipment for analysing the main renewable energy sources (photovoltaic, wind, hydroelectric, thermal), together with stations for learning about residential and industrial electrical networks. Students can explore both energy production and energy management, using real instruments and simulation software.

About this solution

Objectives

1. Experiment with how renewable energy systems work

Students work at modular stations with photovoltaic panels, mini wind turbines, hydroelectric kits and modules for residential and industrial installations. The activities allow them to observe, configure and test the production and management of energy.

2. Acquire skills in measurement, monitoring and control

Using wattmeters, network analysers, digital multimeters, data loggers and simulation software, students learn to collect data and monitor the main electrical and environmental parameters of energy systems.

3. Integrate thermal and electromechanical technologies

The lab includes scale-model heat pumps, Stirling cogeneration systems and biomass boilers, simulating energy efficiency and thermoelectric conversion scenarios for modern installations.

4. Apply safety regulations in electrical installations

Exercises include disconnectors, circuit breakers, insulating gloves and electrical safety mats to ensure training that complies with electrical safety and risk prevention standards.

Educational Aims

1. Link theory and practice in the energy sector

The teaching activities make it possible to tackle key concepts of renewable energy, power balances and system sizing through practical experience in the lab.

2. Promote sustainability and energy efficiency

The lab provides tools for analysing sustainable scenarios and integrated systems, raising students’ awareness of the efficient use of energy and the environmental impact of installation technologies.

3. Prepare students to enter the photovoltaic, wind and home automation sectors

The technical content covered is aligned with the skills required in the electrical and energy systems sector, supporting qualified entry into professional and post-diploma settings.

4. Encourage collaborative work and data processing

Thanks to shared workstations, group activities and IT tools, students learn to document tests, analyse the data collected and collaborate in solving complex problems.
