Smart Grids, Master of Science (Technology)

Are you interested in smart energy systems, combination of new technologies and business models? Do you wish to have capabilities for creating innovative and sustainable energy solutions for the future?

Changes and disruption of traditional power and energy systems require a new set of skills in order to realize the transition to smarter, more flexible and renewable energy systems. Next generation electrical power engineers need to understand increasing amount of different interdisciplinary interactions ranging from new technologies to customer needs and different energy policies.

Smart Grids (MSc Tech) offers students the latest knowledge in ongoing green energy transition and excellent capabilities to renew the industry and create resilient solutions for sustainable and smart energy systems.

The Major in Smart Grids is a part of the Master’s Programme in Smart Energy.

Goals

The studies in Smart Grids offer students the latest knowledge in ongoing energy transitions and excellent capabilities to renew the industry and create future-proof solutions for sustainable and resilient energy systems.

By completing this degree, the student will be able to:

• analyse and assess the effect of green energy transition, digitalisation and new enabling technologies on future smart energy solutions
• plan, research and develop new intelligent solutions for resilient and smart energy systems by utilizing different simulation tools
• understand the role of new technologies and components (energy storages, advanced ICT solutions), concepts (microgrids, energy communities), energy networks integration (sector-coupling) and new market and business models on energy transition
• lead and manage different new solutions development, planning and research projects as well as use existing sources of information critically and produce new knowledge in multidisciplinary field of future smart energy systems

In addition, the degree prepares students for research work and provides eligibility for further studies in the field of electrical engineering and electrical energy engineering.
