Industrial Energy Processes - Advanced Energy Solutions, Master of Science (Technology)

There is an ongoing transition towards sustainable energy which combines smartness, flexibility and environmental performance with a customer acceptance and engagement. New energy system will be a complex combination of central and local resources. This calls for new thinking of primary sources, production, markets, transmission, use and customers as producer-consumers (prosumers).

The program has four majors. In each of them, You will be provided a solid theoretical background, complemented with interdisciplinary studies to broaden and deepen the understanding of energy challenges in our society.

The major Industrial Energy Processes and Sustainability will address fundamental chemical engineering knowledge and unit operations involved in chemical processes integrated to energy storage, energy conversion, process automation, recycling technologies and sustainability. This includes thermodynamics, mass and energy balances on reacting systems, chemical equilibria, chemical kinetics, catalysis, role of interphase and intraphase heat and mass transfer. Modelling and simulation has an important role in the analysis and design of energy processes.

(The other majors of the Master's Programme in Advanced Energy Solutions are:

• Energy in Buildings and Built Environment
• Energy Systems and Markets
• Sustainable Energy Conversion Processes)
