Power Electronics and Energy Systems MSc

Coventry University

Through advanced laboratory training and research-informed teaching, develop technical expertise in areas relevant to electrification and clean mobility sectors and build skills applicable to engineering contexts where innovation and sustainability are priorities.

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.
