Master in Dynamics of renewables-based power systems (DREAM)

The European Master in Dynamics of Renewables-based Power Systems (DREAM) is an innovative 2-year Master’s programme that offers multidisciplinary education in the modern power systems field of today and tomorrow. It trains students to tackle the current and future challenges of smart power systems in a new way. Therefore, core knowledge from the fields of Power Systems, Smart Grids, Renewable Generation, Automatic Control and Power Electronics is combined to give the students the opportunity to acquire a global “system view” of the dynamics of next generation power systems. DREAM promotes a more integrated way of thinking in order to prepare multidisciplinary specialists trained for the new jobs and challenges of future power systems.
