Location of Chalmers University of Technology
Electrical energy is essential for societal development and the welfare of people; without electrical energy, global development would stop.
Electric Power Engineering aims to educate students in advanced and state-of-the-art developments in electric power engineering; the programme addresses theoretical aspects as well as provides a good practical and experimental basis. It has a long tradition at Chalmers of around one hundred years.
Programme areas include high voltage engineering, electric machines and drives, power electronics and power systems. The department’s research profile of environment and renewable energy sources is also covered.
Who should apply
The programme is suitable for students interested in a career in the power engineering industry, the utilities industry and other related areas. Students with basic undergraduate level training from a branch of electrical engineering, automation and mechatronics engineering, energy engineering or engineering physics are welcome to apply to the programme. The programme is also suitable for personnel from power engineering manufacturing companies, power utilities and individuals who are interested in updating their knowledge in the subject or who would like to enhance their qualifications.
Why apply
Electric Power Engineering aims to provide master’s programme students with:
* good theoretical knowledge by means of lectures and tutorials,
* good practical experience by means of computer exercises (simulation) and laboratory exercises (experimentation),
* contact with Swedish industry through guest lectures, study visits and opportunities to carry out master’s thesis work in the industry.
Contents
The programme is closely connected to the graduate research school in the area of energy and the environment, and particularly to specialisations within electric power engineering. It is also connected to the graduate research school in the area of high voltage engineering, which is a joint initiative between Chalmers University of Technology, Uppsala University, the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and High Voltage Valley in Ludvika.
Many of the programme’s courses and master’s thesis project areas provide a strong link to research activities within the Division of Electric Power Engineering and the High Voltage Engineering Division, the latter belonging to the Department of Materials and Manufacturing Technology. Students who have completed the programme are thus expected to form a strong pool for recruitment to the abovementioned PhD programmes.
Electric Power Engineering at Chalmers has a well established link to the power industries in Sweden. The industries have supported research projects financially as well as through other forms of cooperation. In the past few years, cooperation with the car, telecom and wind power industries has increased through a number of master’s theses and research projects.
