Electrical Engineering and Renewable Energy Systems MSc MSc MSc

Renewable And Sustainable Energy Systems

As the energy infrastructure is arguably the most important feature in any city energy efficiency and integration of renewable energy sources within urban areas are central to the smart city concept. This module will first explore why there is a need for the greater use of low-carbon and renewable energy systems within cities, followed by an introduction to the range of low-carbon and renewable energy technologies currently available. The module will explore the potential to integrate low-carbon and renewable energy systems into buildings to move toward cost-effective, efficient, and more environmentally friendly energy provision based on the Paris Agreement for net zero buildings. Furthermore, challenges and issues associated with the greater integration of low-carbon and renewable energy systems into energy infrastructure within large urban areas and smart cities will be considered.

Msc Individual Project

This is your chance to design and implement your own large-scale project of investigation, experimentation and analysis. Your project will need to have practical and investigative elements, meaning you will have the opportunity to evaluate existing background, theories and knowledge as applied to a design problem or the development and improvement of new or existing processes and products. By using the wide-ranging skills, you have developed during your course you will be able to use practical measurement, design, implementation and above all, creativity, to devise and develop a solution based on sound engineering principles.
