- Study credits/hours (per semester)
- 30 credits/ 1800 hours)
- Objectives
The Master’s programme in Sensor Networks for Power Systems Operation, Maintenance and Control is designed to meet 4 main objectives :
- Develop an understanding of the micro-electronic technology used in the design of sensors
- Build capacity in the design of sensor networks for power systems
- Build capacity to apply sensor networks to the monitoring of power systems
- Build capacity to apply sensor networks to the maintenance of power systems
- Build capacity to use sensor networks for the control of power systems
- Structure and content
-
The Master’s programme is designed around 5 main pillars :
- Micro-electronic controllers as embedded systems
- Sensor networks
- Design of sensor networks for network coverage
- Sensor Network-based control
- Sensor Network-based maintenance algorithms
The first year of the programme is devoted to formal lectures while the second year is devoted to the research project. At the beginning of the third semester, each student is assigned a research project and a supervisor. The progress made by the student is periodically assessed by juries of academic staff through seminar presentations by the student. The configuration of the various courses into semesters is shown below.
