Course overview:

Learn about the challenges posed by the rapidly changing power generation mix with increasing fractions of clean energy sources such as wind and solar. Study the enabling technologies and the system-level solutions to facilitate deep decarbonisation of the electric power sector in a secure and cost-effective way. Understand the interplay with decarbonisation of the heat and the transport sector. You’ll receive insights from industry experts outlining practical realities and challenges faced on the ground. A substantial individual research project will be a major focus of your studies, carried out in an area of your interest. You’ll have the opportunity to develop the skills engineers require to work in the electricity industry, increasingly driven by clean and low-carbon energy sources, as well as enter further research.
