Description

In the MSc programme Sustainable Energy Engineering with specialisation in Offshore Energy Systems, you will study technologies related to different kinds of energy systems such as offshore wind turbines, oil rigs, wave energy, etc.

The programme covers various technologies for energy transfer, harvesting and control of offshore energy systems. As a student you will learn about how to design, analyse and model mechanical systems, fluid power systems and electrical systems with complex dynamics and elements with non-linear behaviour.

The objectives of the syllabus are:
  • General understanding of the design, modelling and optimisation of energy systems used in various offshore energy applications
  • Understanding the detailed operation, functionality and interaction between the various components of offshore energy systems
  • Detailed insight into system integration with respect to both system efficiency and control engineering aspects of offshore energy systems
  • Developing, constructing and operating offshore energy systems in the laboratory and in real applications
  • Insight into the topics related to the practical realisation and implementation of offshore energy systems concerning both innovative aspects, business planning and economical considerations.
You will study topics such as:
  • How to analyse and design subsystems for offshore wind turbines
  • How to model complex offshore energy systems
  • How to develop advanced control algorithms for offshore energy systems
