• Aims to prepare graduates to meet the engineering,
economic and environmental challenges facing the energy
systems of developed countries in the future.
• Will focus on the interdependence between;
• The electricity system,
• Building energy systems,
• The industrial production system,
• The food supply chain, and
• The transport system,
- taking account of security of supply and climate impact /
CO2 emissions.
Master of Engineering (ME) in Energy Systems Engineering Maintenance of current living standards in the developed
world will require new ways to use energy more efficiently
and also much bigger contributions from
• solar energy,
• wind energy,
• wave / tidal energy
• energy from crops / biomass / algae,
• nuclear energy, and
• from advanced fossil fuel technologies.
Energy Systems Engineering
• Greater use of electrical energy in buildings and in transport is likely.
• “Smart Grid” and Energy Storage Technologies are needed.

Use of Mobile Phone App’s for Monitoring State of Battery Charge
Chevrolet Volt: OnStar RemoteLink™ mobile app• See the battery level and charge mode (120V or
240V) on your smart phone.• Remotely verify that the car is plugged in or
schedule a future charging time.• Text or email alerts tell you when the battery is fully
charged or if there's a charge interruption.
