Workshop on technologies, trends and prospects of renewable energy projects

USBCAS 2017 | Caracas, Venezuela, December 7, 2017

 


On Thursday December 7, 2017 took place the first Workshop on technologies, trends, and prospects of renewable energy projects, at Universidad Simón Bolívar, Caracas, Venezuela. The event consisted in a series of four seminars related to ongoing research and practical challenges in the topic of renewable energy.

The first tutorial was in charge of Professor Orlando Trejo, with a lecture titled “Dependence of the Conversion Efficiency of PV Cells with the Manufacturing Semiconductor Band Gap”. Next, Professor Raúl Barroso presented his lecture “Potential of Metamaterials in Solar PV Cell Fabrication”, and was followed by Professor Víctor Guzmán with his tutorial titled “Power Electronics in Renewable Energy Applications”. Finally, Professor Miguel Díaz closed the session with his presentation: “Communication Systems for Smart Grids”.

 

 

The audience included professionals from multiple disciplines and institutions from Venezuela, who engaged in dynamic discussions with the presenters. The informal meetings after the conclusion of the workshop served as a starting point for further collaboration, aiming to integrate expertise from multiple fields to tackle current challenges relevant to renewable energy technology.
