Electrical Energy Systems

Decentralised energy production facilities are becoming more complex and so is their integration throughout the electrical system, using renewable energy sources. This includes everything from large-scale production to small units and self-consumption. Their role in processes, from connecting to the grid to ensuring quality and stability in the electrical system, is increasingly crucial. As a result, there is a pressing need today for fresh approaches and updated knowledge to navigate the changing landscape of electrical energy systems.

This new paradigm encompasses electric mobility, including electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as their charging systems and the development of smart grids.

In this regard, Portugal’s 2030 strategy defines priorities in strategic infrastructure investments in the Mobility and Transport, Environment and Energy sectors. It demonstrates a strong commitment to energy sustainability and addressing climate change, promoting decarbonisation and energy transition.

Achieving these goals largely relies on electrotechnical engineering solutions, especially in the area of electrical energy systems.  In this landscape, this training project represents a key element, addressing both current needs and upcoming challenges.
