The module aims to provide a solid understanding of the operation of a power system and the control actions to be implemented on the system during normal and abnormal conditions of modern power systems.

Introduce the concepts for building complex power systems models and analysis techniques (steady-state/dynamic) to ensure the reliability and energy efficiency of the power system.

Cover the key elements of the theoretical principles of stability and control in modern power systems, emphasising solutions related to rotor angle, voltage stability and frequency using power system analysis software.

A combination of a theoretical and practical approach is adopted. It involves the use of a modern power system analysis package. Assessment requires applying the concepts to power system analysis projects.

This module aims to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of effective people management, organisational behaviour, and leadership. The focus is on both strategic and operational aspects of managing people within organisations. Students will explore key concepts such as organisational culture, motivation, team dynamics, and leadership styles. Additionally, the module will delve into strategic human resource management, including talent acquisition, performance management, and employee development.

Regarding organisational behaviour, students will consider how organisational structures and processes influence behaviour and performance and relate these to the factors affecting the efficient running, survival, and growth of an organisation in a competitive market. By the end of this module, students will be able to critically analyse leadership theories and practices, develop strategies for effective team management and organisational change, and understand the ethical and social implications of leadership in a global context. In addition, they will be able to describe and critically evaluate strategies for the effective management and planning of human resources within an organisation.

This module aims to develop the study, employability and research skills to meet the complex learning and professional requirements of postgraduate study. The module which is delivered through a blended approach brings together three discrete elements of study, employability and research skills. Learning content will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous teaching provision.

Key aims include:

• To deliver a series of high quality, interactive study skills and blended learning activities to provide students with a broad foundation to support their development within their chosen field.
• To provide a series of skills to support students within their employability profiles.
• To provide students with the opportunity to develop research skills for engineering and business, including data gathering and analysis skills and ethical awareness.
• To provide students with the opportunity to develop effective communication skills for engineering and business, including skills synthesise complex scientific data to engineering and non-engineering audiences.

The aims of this module are:

• To give students an opportunity to conduct a research and/or development project on a topic of relevance to their specific programme of study.
• To provide students with the key skills and experience needed to plan, manage and deliver a complex extended project.
• To prepare students for future employment and professional practice in a relevant engineering sector at an advanced technical or managerial level.

The aim of this unit is to introduce students to the fundamentals of energy storage including hydrogen, thermal and electrochemical technologies and the integration of energy storage technologies into low carbon power systems.
