We are currently transitioning towards a green economy which aims to reduce environmental pollution. That means converting the maximum amount of renewable energy into our power distribution networks, optimizing energy storage systems in electric car batteries to make each Watt count, or making more efficient power supplies for data servers, which already account for more than 1% of all the energy consumed on the planet.
Power electronics is the discipline which tries to respond to all these technological challenges with the goal of achieving smaller and more efficient systems. It does so by combining a wide range of engineering specialties which will be taught throughout the master's degree in Power Electronics. From switching device topologies to control loops, the course covers everything you need to know in order to meet the requirements of many different applications, from renewable energy generation to advanced power supply design.
The overall objective of the course is to form a new generation of engineers who are passionate about the development of power solutions, both in the hardware and software aspects. The content of the program results from the extensive academic experience that different departments in the UPC have in this field, which will introduce classic and advanced power conversion architectures and provide practical knowledge of the industry. 25% of the teaching hours in the program are taught by professionals from important companies in the field of Power Electronics.
Through collaboration with more than 10 companies in the sector (HP, Wallbox, Premium, Ficosa, Idneo, MPS, etc.), students can carry out their master's degree thesis in a company’s R&D department, demonstrating the potential of employment opportunities in the field of power electronics.
