Study Details: MSc 2 years full-time, 120 ECTS, Aalborg
The introduction of dispersed generation and wind farms will affect the network technically in a number of ways concerning load flow pattern, power quality problems, voltage control, frequency control and reactive power control. Dispersed generation units and wind farms could alter the fault level and the fault current in the distribution and transmission system. However, this may require adjustments or replacements of the protection system. Also attention should be paid to the availability and security.
You will study topics like
•Should the entire high voltage network be laid in cables? How should this be done?
•How would the future distribution network be, including decentralised supply units? What control strategy would be required?
•Should the customer pay time-dependent prices to encourage adjustment of consumption patterns?
•Should the distribution network be able to run independently in the future (disconnected from the transmission network)?
•How do we control the balance between production and consumption in a future network supplied by sustainable energy sources with fluctuating production and consumption?
Please make sure you send your application form and further documentation via post to the International Office by the required deadline.
Furthermore please note the official language requirements for international students applying to Aalborg University. You must complete and pass one of the following:
Admission to the MSc programme in Electrical Power Systems and High Voltage Engineering presupposes a BSc degree in Electrical Energy Engineering, Power Systems or similar.
For further information regarding deadlines and requirements please see the website How to apply to Aalborg University.
Students from outside EU/EEA please see http://www.apply.aau.dk/how-to-apply-postgraduate/tuition-fee/
Electrical Energy engineers have a wide range of job opportunities. The gained knowledge enables the MSc graduates to work in project engineering, research, development and management in Danish and international industries or public institutions.
Examples of possible employers
•Electrical transmission and distribution companies such as Vattenfall, DongEnergy, Energinet.dk, Seas-NVE and Himmerlands Elforsyning
•Wind industry such as Vestas and Siemens Wind Power
•Power industry such as ABB and Siemens
•Other electronics companies
•Counselling companies
During the MSc programme in Electrical Power Systems and High Voltage Engineering (EPSH), you will study future power supply sources and the structure of future power supply systems.
The programme combines power systems analysis with network planning, simulation models for analysis of steady-state and transient phenomena, compensation systems, application of advanced control and surveillance strategies, stability, reliability, voltage quality and relay protection.
The teaching of programme is carried out in an innovative, dynamic and challenging environment through a combination of research-based courses, team-based project work and a high degree of interaction with industrial partners and energy supply companies.
The companies take an active part in providing project proposals for the problem-oriented project work, guest lectures and visits to the companies.
The teaching is carried out in English because many international students are enrolled in the study programme.
