General description and relevant information In this subject, we will analyse the energy generation, that in fact will be used to charge the batteries of the electric vehicle. We will review the conventional power stations briefly, we will address the renewable and photovoltaic energy, as well as the problems arising from the interaction of the electric car, renewable energies and the electricity grid.

Treball de recerca:

sobre la integració del vehicle elèctric: en aquest treball, cada alumne estudiarà i analitzarà els problemes, influències, interaccions i solucions de la xarxa elèctrica causades per l'expansió del vehicle. Aquest treball no pot superar les 15 pàgines escrites per ambdues parts, i la seva nota suposarà el 20% de la nota final. · El treball de recerca no es recuperarà.

Examen final:

una prova d'una hora aproximadament, incloent-hi tota la matèria que farà el dia 15 setmana, concretament, el dimarts, gener, dia 15. La seva nota representarà el 40% de la nota final de la matèria. Una segona oportunitat de superar aquest examen tindrà lloc el dilluns 4 de febrer, en el segon examen d'oportunitat, durant la 18 setmana.

Problemes:

Hi ha 2 col·leccions de problemes, que corresponen a les activitats 1 i 2, la primera fotovoltaica i la segona sobre energia eòlica. Cadascun té un pes parcial del 20%. Aquestes col·leccions es poden recuperar a les setmanes 13 i 14.
