Offshore Energy Systems, Specialisation of Sustainable Energy Engineering

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 Career Opportunities Energy engineers with the specialisation in Offshore Energy Systems have a wide range of job opportunities. The gained knowledge enables the MSc graduates to work in project engineering, research, development and management in Danish and international industries or public institutions. Examples of possible employers: Energy companies such as Vattenfall and Ørsted Offshore energy companies such Offshore Center Danmark A wide range of producers of high efficiency energy systems such as Vestas Wind Systems A/S, Siemens Wind Power A/S, KK-Wind Solutions Counselling companies involved in energy technology and systems Boost your career readiness with E.1 First Job Through personalized career consultations, networking events and engaging workshops in the E.1 First Job program, you will learn effective strategies to help land your first job.
