Technical course of Installation and Maintenance of Thermoelectric Solar Plants

Almost with total certainty, could affirm that the Thermoelectric Solar Energy (also known like Energy Termosolar or Solar Energy of Concentration), is up to now the less known of between the three current forms to take advantage of the energy of the Sun. In effect, the thermal solar energy and photovoltaic have had fortunately a formidable expansion in the last years, and already are integral part of our daily life: production of ACS, support to heating, climatización of swimming pools, generation of electricity for own consumption or sale to the network... They are a sample of the profits obtained with these applications. However, it exists a third technological slope, that allows the generation of electricity in plants of big power, equiparable to head offices of production of conventional energy, but with the environmental profits of the renewable energies .

ACEDIS Has realised an important effort of synthesis for confeccionar an essentially descriptive course, rigorous and to the same accessible time for all, that was able of englobar the foundations of the Thermoelectric Solar Energy with an educational methodology of easy assimilation.

From the professional point of view, the future that him augura to the Thermoelectric Solar Energy is inmejorable: no in vain, they exist in our country several tens of head offices of power of this índole that are already built, in phase of building or projected for the next years.

Al finalizar our course the student will be capacitado stop:

• Know with rigour the physical principles of operation of each one of the technologies linked to the Energy Termosolar.




• Learn the criteria and methods that apply for the installation, maintenance and operation of this type of energetic plants, from the perspective of a correct prevention of labour risks.




• Anticipate and schedule the group of previous tasks and necessary teams for a correct building of the plant termosolar.




• Detail the description of each one of the activities constitutivas of a complete installation of a head office termosolar.




• Exemplify the most singular tasks of operation, maintenance, diagnosis and resolution of incidences of these installations, evaluating his costs in function of his realisation by own staff of the company or by means of outsourcing.




• Know the most advanced devices of inspection and instrumental indispensable for an optimum maintenance.

Have some solid and specific knowledges on the Thermoelectric Solar Energy can be a key factor for a future labour incorporation to this new niche of employment.

MATERIAL OF STUDY

The Temario is structured in Modules and these to his time in Didactic Units, and the student will have of him at all times in three formats:

Course headed to Technical and Upper Engineers; to titled of F.P. Of technical branches like Electricity, Electronic or Automation; intermediate controls and managers of companies linked to the sector of the energy; and of generic form, to all that that wish to enter professionally in the sector of the Thermoelectric Solar Energy.
