MEngSc(Curtin)
Course CRICOS Code: 042178D
Registered full-time Duration for International Onshore Students on student visas: 1 Year
Introduction
This course is designed to provide advanced training in renewable energy engineering for graduates in science and engineering. This program encompasses power conditioning aspects of major renewable energy technologies including wind, photovoltaic and small hydro. Other alternative energy sources such as fuel cells are also evaluated. This course covers the use and understanding of electrical equipment required for power transmission and conditioning, including storage. The aim is to provide students with knowledge of standards to be able to conduct design, analysis, simulation and implementation of Stand Alone and Grid Connected Renewable or Hybrid Energy Systems on small and large scales.
Recognition of Prior Learning
Applications for recognition of prior learning are assessed on an individual basis.
Duration and Availability
