Course summary

The digital transformation of energy management is calling for the leaders of our decarbonised future - capitalise your career prospects in this exciting field with the Advanced Digital Energy Systems MSc The future energy supply must adapt to new technologies, global policies and events while accounting for new emerging consumption patterns. Our MSc in Advanced Digital Energy Systems will allow you to apply techniques and technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain in the energy field, supporting the transition to a more sustainable future. The need for an affordable, sustainable, and secure energy supply makes managing energy systems a complex problem. Digital energy systems are an emerging discipline that uses powerful digital tools and models to analyse data from our power systems and optimize the control and operational strategies and business models. You will acquire a comprehensive knowledge of data analytics and machine learning techniques applied to the integration of renewable energy, smart and microgrids, forecasting energy production and consumption, whilst supporting key objectives such as reaching Net Zero emissions. Who is it for? This course is suitable for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Information Technology and Energy graduates and practicing IT or Energy engineers wishing to pursue a technical management career in the rapidly growing digital energy sector. It develops professional engineers and scientists with the multidisciplinary skills and ability to analyse current and future energy engineering challenges. Why this course? Developed economies now face challenges in procuring energy security and responding to energy pricing and affordability issues, as well as contributing to reducing carbon emissions such as the UK Government’s ambitious targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to close to zero in the power sector by 2050. You will benefit from dedicated state-of-the-art facilities including unique engineering-scale facilities for the development of efficient technologies with low CO2 emissions. In addition to management, communication, teamwork and research skills, each student will attain at least the following learning outcomes from this degree course:

• Design an appropriate data acquisition system for energy related processes,

• Critically analyse industrial data collected from different energy systems,

• Develop systematic strategies using a range of software for energy systems modelling, optimisation and control to resolve the technical issues involved in the design and operation of industrial energy systems.
