Compulsory modules

The aim of the module is to provide a realistic and substantial team project experience in engineering design.

The aim of this module is to provide students with an introduction to the key advanced energy system technologies, from energy security, energy efficiency and flexibility strategies, energy transition, to future energy systems.

The aim of this module is for students to gain an understanding of structured methods as applied to product design.

The aim of this module is to provide an understanding of the factors which influence economic viability of renewable energy investments such as their intrinsic and operational performance, whole system and lifecycle cost analysis, and the energy markets and policy and regulatory contexts in which they operate. Sources of uncertainties and risk will be considered and practical financial analysis undertaken for energy system use cases.

Optional modules

The aims of the module is to provide students with an introduction to the laws governing the availability of hydro power in its conventional form as well as in the form of wave and tidal power. The fundamental concepts of water turbines, wave energy devices and tidal power schemes will also be considered.

The aim of this module is to develop students' critical, informed knowledge of a broad range of biomass energy technologies including combustion and anaerobic digestion.

The aim of this module is to:

  • Introduce the main principles of diagnostic, predictive and operational analytics with relevance to the energy sector.
  • Cover the key theoretical principles under-pinning big data analytics.
  • Utilise case studies to explore how stakeholders such as electricity system operators, utilities and aggregators can use data analytics to create clean, affordable, and flexible energy systems.
