Course Summary

Overview

  • Opportunity to tailor your degree to your career ambitions by choosing one of our specialist pathways, including Energy Storage Systems, Low Carbon Transport, Offshore Energy, Solar Energy and Wind Energy.
  • Dedicated workshop – the Renewable Energy Engineering Facility (REEF) - purpose-built to support opportunities in student skills development and hands-on project work.
  • Designed to build on the skills of engineers, scientists or others to learn about how renewable energy technologies function and can be optimally deployed.
  • Become an in-demand engineer in the renewable energy sector, with the right multidisciplinary skill-set to pioneer the design, build and management of its infrastructure.
  • Taught at our Penryn campus, youll have access to some of the exceptional on and off-shore renewable energy facilities that Cornwall has to offer.
  • Our wide-ranging expertise means youll have the opportunity to follow your interests by studying modules relating to different themes and technologies.

Modules

This module has been designed to develop your knowledge of power electronics and power systems, data acquisition and automation. The future grid will see more integration of renewable energy sources (RES) and, thus, it is vital to understand power electronics, which is the enabling technology for integrating RES to the Grid. You will also learn the basic skills for modelling and analyzing the power network. Additionally, this module will allow you to gain hands-on experience in the practical aspects of data acquisition and control and associated software in the context of power electronic converters. You will have ?hands-on? interaction with sensors, data acquisition systems and control equipment. You will then be working in small groups on a chosen project to select sensor components data loggers, and actuators to assemble a data logging and control system for your project that could then be deployed ?externally?. This is theoretical and practical course using lectures and laboratory-based exercises, and resulting in individual design and group design exercises.
