Teaching and Training
ERPD intends to provide knowledge and discuss aspects of consolidated or advanced engineering in the field of renewable energy (photovoltaic, wind, and mini-hydro), and, more generally, distributed energy sources. It aims to encourage students to think about the new problems coming from the integration of renewable energy sources in the power system, and also to provide additional training in designing these installations, including the economic assessment.

Production and Demand of Electric Energy (IST)
Electric and Electromechanical Systems (IST)
Engineering requires the collaboration of different specialities. It is common that mechanic and electric engineers have to solve situations together. The objective of this course is to teach the students of mechanical engineering the basics of electricity.
By the end of the course, students should know basic concepts of simple DC and AC circuits and electric installations. Also they should know the principles of electromechanical energy conversion, the equivalent circuits in steady state of the most frequent electromechanical energy converter devices and how to estimate forces, speeds, powers and losses. The student should know some aspects of control and protection in most usual applications.
