Study Details: MSc 2 years full-time, 120 ECTS, Aalborg
On the MSc specialisation in Power Electronics and Drives (PED), you will study efficient and intelligent energy conversion employing power electronic technology and electrical machines. You are going to study these topics analytically, numerically and experimentally in an innovative research environment.
This specialisation combines state-of-the-art technologies with conventional technologies, for example power semiconductor devices, electronics, electro-magnetics, digital signal processors, control theory, EMC and energy technology.
The themes for the study in Power Electronics and Drives provide you with in-depth understanding of the technologies and scientific disciplines involved in electric energy conversion by means of power electronic converters and electric machines.
Moreover, the PED specialisation offers core competences in power electronic converters, electrical machines and control engineering. The objective of this international program is to provide you with the ability to model, analyse, synthesize and develop PED systems. We also focus on how power electronics and drives interact with externally connected components or systems. Hence, upon completion of this programme, you are well-fitted for applying for a long range of jobs.
The objectives of the Power Electronics and Drives MSc syllabus are to provide you with:
Experimental work plays a key role in the syllabus. A large, well-equipped laboratory is available, offering you excellent opportunities for constructing and testing prototypes of electronic systems and electric machines. Facilities for testing power electronic components, converters and high power systems are also at your disposal.
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 Power Electronics and Drives presupposes a BSc degree in Electrical Energy Engineering 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/
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 in the area of:
•Wind energy for converter and generator design such as Vestas
•Electrical drives such as Danfoss and Grundfos
•High power converters for compensation or active filters or for machine design such as ABB and Siemens
•Control of converters such as KK-electronics
•PV-systems such as Danfoss Solar Inverters
•Particle accelerators such as Danfysik
•Switch mode converters such as Bang & Olufsen
•Novel lighting such as Martin Professional.
During the MSc programme in Power Electronics and Drives (PED), you will primarily study electric drive systems and achieve a high level of competence in the field of generators, power electronics, control systems, and integration of drive systems in transport and industry. Career opportunities include R&D departments in major companies working with transformation of electrical energy to mechanical energy and vice-versa.
The teaching of the 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.
