Renewable Energies Project Management

At the end of the study of the subject, the students will know how to evaluate the economic viability of a renewable energy project and to organize its administrative management, evaluate the economic and financial risks associated with the investment it must manage, and the various legal aspects and technicians who must assist in its formulation.

General concepts about investment projects and their feasibility analysis: structure and design of a project; feasibility analysis of a project. Basic financial concepts: value of money over time; economic-financial structure and business benefit. Analysis of the economic and financial viability of a project: classic methods of selecting an investment; valuation through real options.

BASIC AND GENERAL
CB7 - That students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of ​​study
CB8 - That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments
CB9 - That students know how to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that sustain them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way
CB10 - That students have the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.

CG03 - Ability to carry out studies of planning and design of energy solutions in the field of renewable energies and sustainability and climate change, whether they are planning models or for their application to facilities.

The program covers a wide range of topics that are considered fundamental in the field of the subject. In the classroom hours of teaching will try to focus on the most relevant and novel aspects for the student, and a more superficial review of those already treated in other subjects but considered important to understand the Analysis and Valuation of Investment Projects in renewable energy. During the course, reference will be made to the specific bibliography to be used to expand the knowledge acquired in each subject.
In the hours of weekly teaching will try to follow the methodological guidelines mentioned below:
- Reconcile the logical rigor of the Financial Theory with the necessary expository clarity that allows a better understanding of the concepts treated, by using examples that specify the concepts introduced and the results obtained.
- The theoretical demonstrations and the mathematical training of the models analyzed will be the subject of attention on numerous occasions in order to introduce students to the use of them before using the computer tools.
- It will be supported by the appropriate IT tools at all times.
- Solve exercises that allow the student to practice and check the assimilation of the exposed contents, either in the classroom or in the computer classroom.
- Promote teamwork both within the teaching center and had been his.
- Encourage dialogue in the classroom and active participation in class.
Students will receive the support of the virtual campus of the USC through the virtual classroom of the subject, in which the periodic programming of the classes and the corresponding supporting material will be offered, both for the lecture and interactive sessions.

For all students (including students with exemption to attend classes), all opportunities and all calls:

Exam: 50%
Activities: 40%
Tutorial sessions: 10%

In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and review of grades will apply.
