Requirements for exchange students
To be accepted for the 5th (Fall) or 6th (Spring) semester, you must have passed 2 years of a relevant Bachelor's programme.
The skills you require
There is a need for Electrical Energy engineers experienced in:
- Environmentally friendly energy production and consumption
- Exploiting renewable energy sources like wind, solar and wave energy
- Developing energy-efficient systems and products for various applications
- Maintaining Denmark’s leading position within the area of energy.
5th semester: design of power electronic systems
The purpose of this semester is to solve problems concerning design and control of power electronic appliances. Control strategies are to be implemented using analog circuits, microcontrollers, digital signal processors or similar. The electrical interaction between the converter and the surrounding systems is to be analysed, and a business case of the power electronic device or system have to be developed as well. Testing of the studied equipment and control in the laboratory is an important part of the project.
Project examples:
- Digital audio amplifier
- Reactive power control using a power converter
- Electro-Magnetic Interference reduction with a pacemaker
- Harmonic interaction between a converter and an electrical machine
- Wireless charging of electric vehicles
5th Semester Modules
6th semester: BSc project: Transmission and conversion of energy in electrical machines and power systems
The objective of this semester is to study an electrical machine and/or an electric power system. The interaction with the surrounding system or the associated power electronics may also be included in the project. The primary focus is the steady-state analysis of the chosen electric machine or electric power system. Partial or complete dimensioning of the system may be needed in order to construct a realistic simulation model and test the proposed solutions. The aim is to gain a deeper knowledge about the different parts of the system and the overall functioning. The proposed solution is to be tested in the laboratory to validate the theoretical results.
Project examples:
- Influence of grid connected wind generators on the power quality
- Performance evaluation of induction machine
- Maximum Power Point Tracking of photovoltaic cells connected to low voltage grids
- Electric drivetrain generator for recumbent bikes
- DC grid for renewable energy sources
