Description

In this programme at AAU Esbjerg, you will study advanced power electronics, electrical machines with strong focus on control engineering, optimisation and reliability. This study programme combines contemporary technologies with classic technologies such as electronics, power electronics, electrical machines, control engineering with artificial intelligence, reliability and maintenance issues. This gives you an understanding of the technologies and scientific disciplines involved in the advanced power electronic area and its application in apparatus and systems.

Studying this programme, you learn how to model, analyse, synthesize and develop advanced power electronic apparatus and systems, and you will learn how power electronics and drives interact with externally connected components or systems.

You will work with topics such as:

• Off-shore wind turbine converters and control
• Power electronics application for subsea robotics and drones
• Diagnostic of power electronic and electrical machine installations
• Optimal control of drives
• Predictive maintenance of industrial electronic systems
• Control of renewable energy systems
• Electric propulsion systems for modern ship and vehicle
• Condition monitoring and maintenance of power electronic systems
• Reliability analysis of power electronics systems
  

Career Opportunities  

With a Master’s degree in Advanced Power Electronics you have a wide range of job opportunities. You will have the ability to perform in functions within planning, development, consulting and research in Danish as well as international industries or public institutions.
