Smart grids are a new way of designing and managing electrical power systems. Smart grids are designed to enhance the effectiveness, stability, and reliability of the systems and to integrate distributed energy resources as a part of system management. They are essential for increasing the share of renewable energy sources without compromising the competitiveness and system security. The smart grids studies aim towards systemic thinking in combination with detailed technical design and analysis skills.

Suitable backgrounds are B.Sc. studies in Electrical power engineering, Power electronics, Electricity markets or Renewable energy sources.

As a smart grids student, you will become familiar with the existing practices, but also gain ideas for future design, implementation, and maintenance of the smart grid. The studies combine technical skills of power electronics and electric power engineering with a broader understanding of controlling smart grids, electricity markets and ICT and automation.... [-]
