The major in Electrical Energy Systems addresses the design, planning and operation of energy systems, for homes, companies, petrochemical industries, metal-mechanical industries, etc.
Students can find work in the planning and operation of electricity generation, transmission, distribution and consumption systems with a focus on the concept of Smart Grids. Students can also design and implement projects for Electrical Installations, Distribution Networks, Transformer Substations, Transmission Lines, Power Generation Plants, Energy Efficiency, Power Quality and Sustainability.
Electrical Engineers working with energy systems will develop, design, implement, maintain and operate installations, machines and electronic devices. They will plan, design, run and implement measurement arrangements and electro-electronic instrumentation, lightning protection systems, electrical grounding, lighting systems and motive power and electrical installations in industries, companies and homes. They will specify, design and oversee machines, equipment, materials, components and electronic devices. They will develop studies, programs and projects for energy management, energy efficiency and the production of electricity through conventional and renewable sources, as well as the sustainable use of electric energy, aiming at the preservation of the environment and natural resources.
