StudyQA — Master: Sustainable Electrical Energy Systems

Description Contents Requirements

This programme has been planned in response to a need in Industry for a masters degree programme that addresses the technology of sustaibale electrical energy systems and the issues sorrounding their integration into elactrical power systems. The main themes covered are:elactrical power systems analysis, renewable electrical energy technology, power electronics, distributed generation, energy markets and global issues surrounding the supply and demand of energy. The programme is aimed at graduate engineers who would like to continue their studies and at engineers who are currently working in the elactrical/electronic and related industries who would like to move into an engineering role in the electrical energy systems area.

Award Graduates are eligible for the award of Masters of Engineering in Sustainable Electrical Energy Systsmes of the Dublin Institute of Technology.

Career Opportunities This programme will develop the knolwdged and skills set required to work at a high level within the research, design and development divisions of companies in the electrical energy sector. Continuing Professional Development: All modules are offered on a CPD basis. Participants who opt to undertake a signle module will be given a Single Subject Certificate on successful completion of that module.

The programme consists of 12 taught modules and a project. Modules are delivered through a mixture of lecture, assignments and laboratory work, e-learning and problem based learning by academics and industrial experts.

Core Modules:

* Research Methods
* Entrepreneurship
* Statistical Analysis
* Innovation and Knowldged Managemnt
* Power Electronic Energy Conversion Systems
* DSP Platforms
* Wind Energy for Electricity Supply
* Renewable Energy Technologies
* Embedded Generation
* Power Systems Analysis 1
* Power Systems Analysis 2
* Energy Supply

Optional Modules:

Gas & Electricity Markets

The project module requires completion of a project and diseertation. Work based projects are encouraged.

Assessment A variety of assessment methods are used to assess the taught modules including assignments (group and individual), short tests, formal examinations, reports and presentations. The project will be assessed on the basis of the work undertaken, an orla presentation and a written report on this work.

A minimum Second Class Honours accredited degree (2.2 grade or higher) in Electrical or Electronic Engineering or a minimum Second Class Honours accredited degree (2.2 grade or higher) in a related engineering discipline e.g. mechanical, mechatronic or energy enegineering. Some candidates may be required as a condition of entry to take specific moduules from the School's Level 8 programme, the Honours Degree in Elactrical and Electronic Engineering appropriate bridging modules. Non-standard applications: Applicants holding a qualification or combination of qualifications deemded by the Institute as being of equivalant standard to the above when taken in conjunction with relavnt work experience may also be considered.Note: Due to the considerable competition for our postgraduate programmes satisfying the minimum entry requirement is not a guarantee of a place. Depending on the programme of study applications will be assessed based on your academic grades and may also take into account your work/life experience. Applicants may also be required to attend for interview for specific programmes.
