This course at UTS provides an opportunity at the master's level for professional engineers to extend the knowledge and skills gained in their undergraduate studies in depth and breadth. 

The course follows an integrated approach to professional practice through professional engineering subjects, subjects relating to the major and sub-major, an independent project in at least one engineering field, and a set of electives.

This major covers topics related to electrical engineering in electrical energy systems. 

The topics include advanced power electronics, advanced energy conversion systems, energy storage technologies, microgrid control, microgrid operation and protection and studios in electrical power and energy systems. 

Students will learn skills and tools to tackle microgrids' technical and social challenges, such as integrating multiple renewable energy resources and loads, microgrid stability and control, demand side response, and synchronising microgrids (DC and AC). 

Real-time simulation is widely used for system analysis, integration, and concept proof. 

Experimental studies will be performed in laboratories. 

This major assumes prior fundamental knowledge of electrical (power) engineering.

Students who wish to undertake a more substantial research project can transfer to the Master of Engineering (Advanced).

• Academic Transcripts
• English Language Proficiency
• English language translations of documents in a language other than English
