Power Electronics and Energy Systems MSc

Coventry University

Global efforts to reduce carbon emissions are increasing the demand for engineers with both theoretical understanding and practical experience in energy conversion technologies. This course focuses on developing your knowledge of key technologies associated with electrification. You’ll explore advanced embedded control and real-world power applications, helping you build specialised skills relevant to the development of sustainable energy solutions that align with international standards and address global decarbonisation targets. Core areas of study: Intelligent power and control: master the design of advanced converters and motor drives, using embedded microcontrollers and real-time software to automate complex industrial systems. Energy storage and sustainability: acquire the modelling skills to integrate batteries and hydrogen fuel cells into renewable grids and electric propulsion systems, driving the transition to global decarbonisation. Industry-aligned research: solve real-world engineering challenges through an independent project aligned with major UK innovation initiatives and current employer demands. This course is assessed using methods that vary by module. Assessment methods may include: written assignments individual presentations group presentations laboratory exercises and practical testing mini-projects a final individual research project. The Coventry University assessment strategy aims to ensure that our courses are fairly assessed and allows us to monitor student progression towards achieving the intended learning outcomes.
