CONTROL OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS

Course Overview

The objective of the two-year European Master's Programme on Control of Renewable Energy Systems (EU-CORE) is to train top-level engineers from across the world on the design of advanced control technologies for renewable energy systems and to contribute to the emergence of a new generation of graduates who are needed to achieve Europe's environmental and energy ambitions under the Green Deal. Unlike other erasmus+-funded programmes linked to renewable energy systems which focus on one source of energy, EU-CORE will cover all the main renewable energy sources and their associated control issues. Thanks to a selection of top-level academic and industrial partners, the skills developed throughout the EU-CORE Programme will open the door to a wide variety of careers in the renewable energy industry. During the first three semesters teaching takes place at the locations of the three partner universities Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France), University of Zagreb (Croatia), Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (Germany). Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France), University of Zagreb (Croatia), Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (Germany). The complementary nature of the Consortium's partners means that students will be trained in specific fields in which the partners are internationally recognised. For example, students will be studying the control of wind energy systems, the management of energy storage, the control of solar and hydrogren systems and their integration into the grid. To be fully in line with labour market requirements, the academic programme is completed by soft/transferable skills training during Winter/Summer Schools. In this way, EU-CORE offers a high degree of permeability between education, research, innovation, soft-skills, industrial needs, and environmental concerns. In short, EU-CORE will train future experts in the field of RES and thus contribute to the EU's climate neutrality objectives by 2050. All information on the Degree Programme is available on the EU-CORE website. on the EU-CORE website Professional Fields of Activity The interdisciplinary subject content of the Programme qualifies graduates for a professional career in the private and public sectors of energy and automation technology, in research and development at universities and research institutions, in the industrial research and developmentat private companies, in planning and policy-making organizations. in the private and public sectors of energy and automation technology, in research and development at universities and research institutions, in the industrial research and developmentat private companies, in planning and policy-making organizations.
