Graduate Taught (level 9 nfq, credits 20)

The Climate Action Plan launched in 2019 by the Irish Government defines a new growth strategy and roadmap to decarbonise the energy sector and renovate buildings and transportation to help cut energy bills and usage. The recent European Green Deal goes in the same direction and will have several implications for Ireland, in particular for the electrical power system.

There is, in particular, a need for training for electrical engineers who are currently in employment, or are expected to be recruited into the sector, in the field of electrical energy system security, control, stability analysis, resilience, renewable energy, converter-interfaced generation and low-inertia systems. This new Professional Diploma fills this gap.

The programme offers state-of-the-art modules in power system modelling, dynamics and control. Particular emphasis is given to renewable energy systems. The programme also offers modules on optimisation techniques and stability analysis of nonlinear systems, which are specifically designed for applications to power system problems.

Programme Outcomes
The learning outcomes are as follows: (1) familiarity with and knowledge of power system dynamic modelling and control of power systems with high shares of renewable energy resources; (2) knowledge of state-of-art numerical methods for the stability analysis of power systems; (3) knowledge of state-of-art optimization methods for the technical and economical operation of power systems; (4) ability to communicate effectively in the fields of power system modelling, control, optimization and stability analysis and (5) ability to learn independently.
