Renewable energy and reduction of carbon emissions are top of the global agenda. This programme addresses the fundamentals of renewable energy and how solar, wind, wave and other such energy sources can be efficiently integrated into practical power systems.
This is an advanced course in the area of electrical engineering applied to renewable energy systems. It is distinctive in that it provides a strong core of power electronic converters, machines and control backed up with modules on power generation and electronic conversion with renewable energy sources.
You will undertake substantial elements of practical work giving you confidence with hardware implementations using electric drives, microcontroller control and electronic conversion circuits. Project work is highly rewarding and conducted in a research-led environment, with selected students having the opportunity to carry out an industrial placement for their project.
