IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Students interested in the Electrical Power Engineering major have to apply for the Master's degree programme in "Electrical Engineering, Information Technology and Computer Engineering". Once accepted and enrolled, they can choose any one of the six majors (Electrical Power Engineering, Micro- and Nanoelectronics, Systems and Automation, Communications Engineering, Computer Engineering, Biomedical Systems Engineering).
Electrical power engineering is in many respects a typical systems science. Students will understand systems by combining their in-depth knowledge in selected domains of electrical power engineering with their knowledge of other disciplines. They will be able to apply theoretical concepts of system identification, modelling, and optimisation. Graduates with a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Information Technology and Computer Engineering with a specialisation in Electrical Power Engineering will be able to analyse problems related to electrical power and to communicate these problems to others in scientific formulation. Using knowledge acquired in lectures as well as experience gathered by completing exercises, graduates will develop models for power systems and their components to solve technical/scientific questions. They will understand the responsibility that they have as well as the importance of an electricity supply that is safe, reliable, economical, and environmentally friendly.
Using concepts acquired during their studies, graduates will create solutions that address the challenges in the areas of electrical appliances, electrical drive trains, electricity grids, electromobility, power systems engineering & economics and renewable energies. They will understand which steps are required to realise a theoretical solution. Graduates will have gathered experience managing projects in a multicultural team and will be able to apply their knowledge throughout their future careers. Graduates will be able to communicate both in writing and verbally using current technical language and terminology while speaking, writing, and understanding English.
Core subjects include: High-Voltage Engineering, Battery Storage Systems, Power Electronics, Electrical Machines, Electrical Drives, Power Systems, and Power Economics.
