Power And Energy Track

Power and Energy

Power Systems engineers work on the design, develop, and operate of the electrical power system that delivers electricity customers with high reliability and quality. The field is broad and is becoming broader with the move of deregulation, smart grid development, decarbonization, and inverter-based resources. Future power systems engineers will have to implement more intelligent control, low environmental impacted resources, battery storage systems, and power electronic converters for global power system transformation.

The Power and Energy track shows the flow of courses in the Undergraduate and Master track, including prerequisite, mandatory courses, and electives associated with generation, transmission and utilization of electric power. Generation includes conventional power generation (fossil fuel and nuclear) and alternative energy systems, including solar, wind and fuel cells. UG students have 4 electives including 1 recommended elective among 9 electives (Refer to Focus Track and speak with an advisor on when courses are offered). MS students have 1 recommended elective, followed by completing 4 of 12 other electives.
