Overview

About the program

Electricity will become a backbone of a multi-energy system with natural gas, hydrogen and heat as additional useful energy carriers. Several large-scale power plants will generate the electricity, and will be joined at a fast-growing pace by many small-scale distributed sources.

The variable nature of renewable energy sources, forms a challenge for energy supply security and stability, and the transition will therefore have an unprecedented impact on the design and operation of the power grid, amplified further by the electrification of transport, heat and industry sectors. This Energy Transition program is offered at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).

Programme Structure

Research:

• Research themes in the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science are broad, spanning health and wellbeing, the energy transition and the transition of our digital society.
• We also approach a number of cross-border key technology areas in an interdisciplinary way, such as communication and sensing, artificial intelligence and unconventional computing/quantum technologies.
