What you will study
This is the offshore specialisation of Aalborg University's MSc in Sustainable Energy Engineering. It is taught in English and based in Esbjerg. The programme takes two years.
What you study
The specialisation looks at the technologies behind offshore energy systems: offshore wind turbines, oil rigs, wave energy and similar installations. You work on energy transfer, harvesting and control.
The syllabus sets out what you should be able to do by the end:
- Understand the design, modelling and optimisation of energy systems used in offshore applications.
- Understand how the individual components of an offshore energy system operate and interact.
- Gain detailed insight into system integration, covering both system efficiency and control engineering.
- Develop, build and operate offshore energy systems in the laboratory and in real applications.
- Understand the practical side of putting systems into use, including business planning and economic considerations.
Topics include analysing and designing subsystems for offshore wind turbines, modelling complex offshore energy systems, and developing advanced control algorithms for them. You learn to work with mechanical systems, fluid power systems and electrical systems that have complex dynamics and non-linear elements.
