This exchange programme is for motivated students who want to be the future technical experts!

The transition from traditional power generation to renewable energy sources requires an increase in the operational flexibility of the network. Renewable energy sources, such as wind or photovoltaic are either cyclical, or they have a fluctuating power level. In order to guarantee a sufficient and reliable energy supply, the energy supply needs to be matched to the energy demands at all times for the integrated gas, heat and electricity networks. As a result, the requirements with respect to the operational flexibility of traditional power generators become more demanding. In this exchange programme all aspects of generation, transport, distribution and control of electrical networks for modern grids, either Low Voltage or High Voltage, are studied. However the emphasis is on electricalaspects.

Programme

With guest lectures, excursions, theoretical and practical assignments you will get in-depth knowledge of the subject. Throughout the semester you will also work in student groups on an assignment in designing a modern grid.

You will work with students from all over Europe.
