Location of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)
De masteropleiding Sustainable Energy Technology leidt je op tot ingenieur met een grote deskundigheid op het gebied van energietechnologie. Je bent op de hoogte van de nieuwste ontwikkelingen.
De masteropleiding Sustainable Energy Technology leidt energiespecialisten op die meer dan alleen technische kennis bezitten. Ze hebben ook inzicht in economie, beleid en innovatieprocessen. Deze combinatie is een duidelijk pluspunt voor werkgevers. De opleiding kent zeven afstudeerrichtingen, gekoppeld aan de belangrijkste onderzoeksthemas: energie uit biomassa, zonne-energie, windenergie (TU Delft), waterstoftechnologie, electrical power engineering, energie en maatschappij en duurzame energie in de bebouwde omgeving. Tijdens de opleiding kies je één van de onderzoeksgebieden als specialisatie. Het eerste jaar start met een oriëntatie op verschillende vormen van duurzame energie. Daarnaast verdiep je je in zaken die met de implementatie ervan te maken hebben. Je volgt colleges, doet projectwerk en kiest een specialisatie. Het tweede jaar staat in het teken van verdieping via een onderzoeksstage en een afstudeerproject. Na afronding van de masteropleiding Sustainable Energy Technology ben je klaar voor een afwisselende carrière. Alumni zijn werkzaam in de energiesector, toeleverende industrie, onderzoeksinstituten, ingenieursbureaus en niet-gouvernementele organisaties.

Specialities:
Energy from biomass :
To convert the biomass to energy, processes like gasification, pyrolysis and fermentation are used.
Solar Energy:
Solar cell systems are already cost- effective for many autonomous applications, i.e. telecommunications and rural electrification.
Wind Energy:
In the Netherlands research into wind energy conversion is done by the DUWinD organization of Delft University of Technology (TUD) and by ECN in Petten.
Hydrogen Technology:
The research is focused on the production, purification, storage of hydrogen, and its use in internal combustion engines.
Electrical power engineering:
In the group 'electrical energy systems' the research is focused on the integration of distributed generation in the electrical network.
Energy and society:
Sustainable energy systems in the future will be quite different from the energy systems we know at this moment.
Sustainable energy in the built environment:
The built environment is one of the biggest consumers of primary energy worldwide.
