Low Carbon Power Systems

Intended learning outcomes

On completion of this course, graduates will:

• Be able to apply physical principles, fundamental abstractions, and modelling techniques in the analysis of electrical power and energy components, systems, networks, and markets, also including renewable and low-carbon technologies
• Have developed and demonstrated electrical engineering laboratory skills through simulation of electrical power systems using software tools as well as through real-life experiments on power system components and systems
• Be able to demonstrate mastery of fundamental knowledge of mathematical and engineering techniques and basic optimisation tools for electrical power system and energy market applications
• Be conversant with, and able to discuss broad issues influenced by electrical power system engineering, such as the energy trilemma of affordability, reliability and sustainability, internet-related privacy and security matters, and functioning and ethical aspects of the electricity sectors and relevant businesses and stakeholders
• Have developed and mastered effective verbal and written communication skills, including for public presentations and professional technical reports, in power and energy systems and the broader electrical engineering domain.
