Electrical Power and Energy Systems MSc

This programme is for graduate engineers wishing to work in the electrical power industry. It develops your knowledge of electrical power and energy systems, giving you a good understanding of the latest developments and techniques within the electrical power industry. It draws heavily on the experience of the UK power industry, as a global leader in decarbonising power, with the challenges and opportunities arising.

This course has been specifically designed to facilitate further learning for those involved in, or have aspirations of a career in, the field of electrical power engineering including the renewable energy systems sector. The course aims to deepen the students’ knowledge of subject areas previously studied as part of their first degree (i.e. electrical engineering). The course is built around two discipline specific specialist threads and one future facing thread.

The specialist threads are electrical power networks (comprising: Smart Grids, Microgrids, Future Energy Demand) and power electronic applications (comprising: Renewable Energy Generation, Power Conversion for Energy Systems, Microgrids). These specialist threads have been chosen to provide employment opportunities in a wide range of industries especially in the electrical power engineering sector, but additionally electrical power system skills for related renewable energy industries.

As an electrical power and systems engineer you can be involved in designing, constructing, commissioning and lifecycle maintenance of complex energy generation, conversion and distribution systems. Your work could include energy storage systems, control systems, management and efficient use of energy in building, manufacturing and processing systems. You could also be involved in work relating to the environmental and economic impact of energy usage.
