Smart Power Systems
Faculty of Electrical and Environmental Engineering
The study programme “Smart Power Systems” is aimed at meeting the requirements of the Latvian and external labour markets with the necessary specialists in the field of electric power systems and networks as well as energy handling. The programme is capable of identifying the needs of the power industry and offers to apply smart technologies for economical and efficient use of electric power, integrating the knowledge obtained in the study process in the field of modern electric power systems in such a way as to enable the student, after obtaining the degree, to both start practical work in the field and continue their studies at a higher level in the academic or professional (with the possibility of obtaining the qualification of Leading Electrical Engineer) master programme.
The aim of the study programme is to prepare a new generation of graduates in the field of electric power systems and networks, electric power transmission and distribution, their modes, stability, and reliability, actively implementing smart technologies, namely:
- optimal control technologies applicable to the energy market as well as to generation, transmission, distribution, consumption, and energy-saving;
- expertise in energy demand and saving, efficient energy use techniques in construction, manufacturing, the primary sector, and the transport industry;
- development of various control systems and energy efficiency models and their integration.
