Procedure ______17 The study has a professional approach and is oriented Renewable Energy Grid Integration Introduction to transfer the knowledge between companies and re- searchers. Because of that, company professionals are responsible from the main part of the teaching. They taught sessions directly related to their work, contribu- ting to a practical and applied vision.

The specialization diploma is a continuation of various From academic year 2010-2011 University of Zara- specific degrees offered by the University of Zaragoza goza has offered the “Renewable energy grid integra- since 2010. The study has great international prestige, tion” specialization diploma, promoted by CIRCE. This as evidenced the fact that about 80% of the students course is framed in the European master offered by comes from abroad, having form professionals over 15 EUREC (European Association of Renewable Energy Research Centers) given by a consortium of European different countries. Universities. It is taught in English and classroom teaching mode.

Its main objective is to offer a complete education, not This allows the access of foreigner students and it has just in new renewable generation technologies, but also the objective of promoting Europe cooperation and in the smart grids complex world, in the electric market, make the Spanish students feel confident for work legislation and standardization. The study explores the within this area. In addition this allows the study was use of advanced tools for grid analysis, with special at- also offered as a specialty of the European Master in tention to stability, grids quality and supply guarantee; in Renewable Energy promoted by the EUREC Agency present and future problems and solutions for renewa- (European Renewable Energy Centers Agency) and a ble energy integration into the grid. consortium of European universities.

3 Objectives

The main objective of this diploma is that the student dee- pens on distributed grids technologies and the integration Renewable Energy Grid Integration of renewable energy, for using them in projects and feasibility studies and promoting the development of R & D + i activities in this area, knowing the legal framework and the main companies.

In this way the students will acquire the knowledge and skills for:

1. Development of projects and studies for installations feasibility or renewable generation integration into the present grid and the future distributed generation grid.

2. Identify the potential uses of electronic and communication applications bring to distributed generation. Analyze the development possibilities in global and local scale.

3. Know in depth the legal framework in the field of renewable energy and distributed generation and know how to apply the rules and regulations for the grid connection.

4. Apply and develop R&D&i projects and/or make in- vestments in this sector, knowing the main companies, working groups and associations to collaborate with.
