THEUS continues to strengthen its commitment to hands-on training and to fostering connections between research, innovation and higher education. In this context, a group of students from the European Masters in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, specialising in “Grid Integration”, at the Universidad de Zaragoza, recently carried out a technical visit to the facilities of CEDER-CIEMAT.
During the visit, the students had the opportunity to gain first-hand insight into a range of systems and equipment used in the field of renewable energy. The programme included the observation of generation, storage and consumption technologies, as well as their integration and operation in both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC).
Notably, part of the visit focused on the systems developed as part of the THEUS project itself, including its hybrid microgrid based on direct current (DC). The students were able to analyse its architecture, the different components involved, and its operation under real conditions, enabling them to better understand the advantages of such solutions in terms of efficiency, flexibility and adaptability to emerging energy demands.
Through initiatives such as this, the project continues to promote synergies between universities, research centres and students, consolidating a learning ecosystem that combines academic with practical experience to tackle the challenges of the energy transition in Europe.
