Program Overview

Program Overview

The Master's program in Electrical Engineering at Delft University of Technology offers a track in Electrical Power Engineering. This track focuses on the design, operation, and integration of sustainable electrical energy systems, with an emphasis on reliability, efficiency, and environmental friendliness.

Track Description

The Electrical Power Engineering track is designed to empower students to shape the transition to a sustainable future. Students will learn to design new components with sustainable materials, efficient conversion processes, and smart algorithms, and integrate these technologies into digital, adaptable, and resilient power infrastructures.

Disciplines

Within this track, students can specialize in one of three disciplines:

• Power Grids: focuses on the generation, transmission, and distribution of sustainable electrical energy within intelligent power systems.
• Power Conversion: addresses the design, control, and application of advanced power electronic systems and electrical machines and drives for efficient energy conversion.
• High Voltage: focuses on the fundamental building blocks of electrical power systems, with emphasis on high-voltage engineering.

Laboratory Facilities

Students in this track will have access to high-standard research facilities, including:

• High Voltage laboratory
• PV Technology Centre (ESP + EKL)
• Electrical Sustainable Power Lab
• PV Lab
• Electrical Energy Conversion Laboratory
• Power System Protection Centre
• Control Room of the Future (Digital Twin)
• Real-Time Digital Simulator

Research Groups

The research groups involved with courses and student supervision within the Electrical Power Engineering Track are:

• DC Systems, Energy Conversion & Storage
• High Voltage Technologies
• Intelligent Electrical Power Grids
• Photovoltaic Materials and Devices

Program Structure

The program consists of a common core, track core, and discipline-specific courses. Students will also have the opportunity to choose from a range of electives and participate in an interdisciplinary project.

First Year (60 EC)

The first year of the program is structured as follows:

• 1st quarter: EE Common Course, Track Core
• 2nd quarter: Theme, Discipline
• 3rd quarter: Theme, Interdisciplinary Project
• 4th quarter: Theme, EE Deep Dive

Admission and Application

When applying, students must select a track. After admission and completion of the first quarter, students can choose to follow either a theme or a custom set of courses within their 15 ECTS EE-Related Elective Space. Guidance will be provided to help students make this choice by the end of the first quarter.
