Abstract

For the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), the ETCS credit takes into account both the teaching hours and the student work. This approach involves a change in the methodological strategy used in the traditional teaching. The application of the Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) actively contributes to this change. In this work, an educational application, Dimex SFCR (Dimensionado de sistemas fotovoltaicos conectados a la red), is presented. It allows the student not only to design grid connected photovoltaic (GCPV) systems and to study the performance of this type of systems, but also helps them to understand the calculation methods con be used in an autonomous way.
