The
sub faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Marine Technology offers for selected
candidates in the academic year 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 a 2-year M.Sc. degree
course in Energy Engineering
This
curriculum comprises the design, construction and operation of systems and
equipment which are needed to provide energy services such as electricity, power
and heat, and indoor climate control and refrigeration. Cost, reliability,
environmental compatibility and sustainability are aspects which are taken into
consideration.
At
this moment there is a continuously changing situation with several new players
in the energy market, an increasing number of available technological options
and a growing importance of sustainability. Therefore, application of advanced
tools and techniques to assess the different available technological options
with regard to integration of the chosen solutions into wider infrastructures (large
scale centralized and small scale decentralized), the possibilities for
adaptation to changing economical boundary conditions and the sustainability of
the total system, forms an integral part of the curriculum.
The
research activities reflect the aspects, depicted above and aim at increasing
the sustainability and flexibility of the overall systems. An important common
subject is the increased application of sustainable energy sources.
The
research carried out by the section Thermal Power Engineering is mainly in the
field of fuel conversion (combustion, gasification, gas conditioning, gas
turbines and fuel cells) and analysis of the thermodynamic and dynamic
characteristics of energy systems. Small scale decentralized systems, based on
sustainable energy sources, form also an area of research. These projects are
mostly carried out in cooperation with international partners within and outside
Europe.
The
research carried out by the section Refrigeration and Indoor Climate Control is
mainly aimed at decreasing the energy use for air-conditioning and refrigeration
systems and an increased use of sustainable, environmentally friendly energy
sources (energy saving in utility buildings and private housing, application of
environmentally harmless refrigerants, improved sorption systems for
refrigeration and heat pumping).
The
graduation project will be part of the ongoing research projects carried out
within the sections involved.
