Sustainable Electrical Power MSc
About the course
The Sustainable Electrical Power MSc develops graduates
capable of leading teams which will operate, design, analyse,
secure, stabilise, control, regulate and manage the sustainable
electrical power systems and networks of the future.
The course equips you with the ability to critically evaluate
methodologies, analytical procedures and research methods in:
Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro,
bioenergy, geothermal and nuclear.
Design of stand-alone, grid-connected and hybrid
sustainable electrical power systems.
Power system engineering, using state-of-the-art
computational tools and methods.
Power electronics for power quality and grid integration.
Regulatory frameworks for power systems and electricity
markets.

Special features
You develop real-world skills with the best globally
available power analysis software and tools. The course is
supported by a wide range of application-oriented power
engineering experiments in a modern, well-equipped
practical power systems laboratory.
The Brunel Institute of Power Systems is an internationallyleading research group specialising in the optimal design,
operation and modelling of power systems, as well as in the
economics of electricity markets.
Our high-performance computing capability includes a
grid-enabled cluster of processors consisting of 20 dual
processor nodes with dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Our major power system software includes MATLAB/
SIMULINK, Orcad, PSCAD, DIgSILENT, IPSA, ETAP and
PowerWorld.
Electronic and Computer Engineering is one of the largest
disciplines at Brunel University London, with a portfolio
of research contracts totaling £7.5m and strong links with
industry.
Our laboratories have an excellent range of facilities
to support the research work and courses. We have
comprehensive computing resources in addition to those
offered centrally by the University. The discipline is
particularly fortunate in having extensive gifts of software
and hardware to enable it to undertake far-reaching design
projects.
We have a wide range of research groups, each with a
complement of academics and research staff and students.
Research is undertaken in five well-established areas:
Centre for Media Communications Research (CMCR)
Wireless Networks and Communications Centre
(WNCC)
Brunel Institute for Power Systems (BIPS)
Centre for Electronic Systems Research (CESR)
Centre for Sensors and Instrumentation (CSI)
Accreditation
The course is accredited by the Institute of Engineering and
Technology (IET) and the Energy Institute (EI).
Mode of study
1 year full time; 2 years part time (in block mode).
Start date
September
Entry criteria
UK first class or second class honours degree or equivalent
internationally recognised qualification, usually in power
