Major: Integrated Use of Renewable Energy Sources
Level: Master’s degree programme
Duration of training: 4 years
Mode of study: Full-time / onsite
Language of study: Russian
Description of the educational programme
Students of this programme obtain theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of using natural resources, based on green renewable energy sources (solar power, wind power, hydro-, bio- and geothermal energy). Much attention is paid to the specifics of using wind-driven and solar power plants, and hydroelectric power plants. Students learn how to calculate the power potential of renewable energy sources for certain terrains; engineer electrical power systems based on using local natural energy sources; design electrical equipment and automation tools intended for operation using both traditional and renewable energy sources; and perform technical control and maintenance of the operated equipment.
In the process of training, students obtain the skills in using the main software for 3D modelling, computer-aided calculations, creation of digital models (ANSYS Mechanical, MATLAB, and SolidWorks), and learn the programming using C++ language aimed for solving of applied tasks.
Students can engage in research activity jointly with the Alternative Energy International Innovations Centre at the SUSU Department of Power Stations, Grids, and Electric Power Systems, as well as take internships at solar power plants, winddriven power and other enterprises for equipment production and power generation.
The competences and skills gained during training allow graduates to get well-paid jobs in both research and design related to renewable energy sources, but also at any modern enterprises in the fields of power engineering and production.
In the Ural Federal District, only SUSU trains specialists in this promising area of activity.
