MSC Smart Electrical Networks (Smart Grid)

KIC InnoEnergy Master School
MSc SENSE Smart Electrical Networks and Systems

MSc SENSE develops your skills in electrical
power engineering, innovation processes and
entrepreneurship in the emerging field of Smart
Grids. Its industry involvement gives students
a broad industrial network plus the ability to
combine engineering and entrepreneurship
and develop their ability to analyse possibilities
and risks from both a technical and business
perspective.
This programme focuses on understanding,
modelling and analysing the principles behind
electric power generation, transmission,
distribution and utilisation on a broad scale. Topics
range from the design, operation, control and
monitoring of individual components to national
power systems in their entirety.
MSc SENSE focuses strongly on entrepreneurship
and creating businesses from innovations. The
programme is based on strong interaction with
its industrial and research partners, who can be
found all over Europe and throughout the world.
Examples of industrial partners include ABB and
Vattenfall.
Programme Content
The programme gives you a highly relevant and
advanced education within the smart grid concept
- the electrical power system of the future. Smart

grids operate in accordance with many of the key
requirements that a sustainable energy system
must meet capacity, decarbonisation, efficiency,
flexibility, reliability and sustainability.
Existing technologies make up the bulk of the
course content, but strong emphasis is also given
to novel and innovative technologies that may
stimulate the evolution of existing power grids into
a Smart Grid. The innovation process itself, plus the
route towards new business development in the
electric power area, is addressed.
MSc SENSE is a two-year programme that includes
mandatory international mobility between the first
and second year. The following universities take
part in the program:
AGH University of Science and Technology
(AGH), Krakow, Poland
Grenoble Institute of Technology (INP), France
