Detectors and Radiation Measurements in the Teaching Laboratory of Renewable Energies

Abstract

The high education studies incorporate at the moment in the first cycle optative subjects that include laboratory practices. For these subjects, different from General Physics, the laboratories can be done of alternative way to the traditional one. In curricula educational of Engineering and Sciences, Renewable Energies is an optative subject, reason why we have designed and prepared the experience, "Radiation indicators and measures", that can be made so much in the laboratory as in the classroom. In this experience, the students use some instruments of use common in the measures of solar radiation, they know units and magnitudes habitual use in optics and learn to handle daily data of global solar radiation of a weather station so that they analyze them and they interpret.
