Introduction

Objectives

Through this Master's Degree students will acquire excellent skills in the management of electrical energy. Based on electrical engineering courses, students will be able to design, develop and improve complex electrical systems (innovative machine, advanced power  electronics, smart grid and multi-source systems), and to prepare for a PhD.

The Electrical Energy Master’s programme covers various topics related to electrical engineering : advanced modeling of electromagnetic devices, control of electrical systems, management of electrical energy. Different areas of application can be targeted including energy  conversion, transportation (boats, aircrafts, automotive…), sustainable development (wind and marine energy and their integration in the network) and multi-source systems.

Skills:
  • to be able to design innovative solutions for the electrical integration of renewable energies
  • to integrate electrical efficiency and eco-conception rules during the design of electrical systems
  • to model a multiphysics system including sensing electrical systems and control process
  • to be able to design optimal electrical energy management systems

Highlights

Language
The programme mainly aims at international students and is taught in English. A good command of the English language is required (B2 score as defined by the Council of Europe). Introductions to French language and European culture are provided locally at Polytech Nantes.
