Electrical Energy Systems Option
The Electrical Energy Systems (ELES) Option in Electrical Engineering, will provide students with theoretical and practical experience in the electrical energy related fields. This option will be useful to students with professional interest in all aspects of generation, transmission, distribution, and processing of electrical energy, including renewable and sustainable energy sources and their integration within the modern electrical grid and community. Particular applications include control, protection and reliable operation of the grid, electromechanical actuators, electric propulsion; electrical power systems of vehicles, aircraft and ships; industrial and manufacturing processes requiring electric energy, and more.
Why Electrical Energy Systems?
Keep the world green, avoid blackouts! Our way of dealing with energy is facing revolutionary changes affecting all technologies. Engineers need to deal with ever-increasing complexity of the energy handling and energy-dependent systems and infrastructures. Renewable and sustainable energy sources and their integration within the future smart electric grid, industry and community are vital for our future.
What are Electrical Energy Systems?
Systems and components related to generation, transmission, distribution, storage, processing and consumption of electrical energy on large and small scales.
Control, protection and reliable operation of the electric grid, hybrid & electric transportation; electrical power systems of vehicles, aircraft and ships; electromechanical actuators, industrial and manufacturing processes requiring electric energy, house appliances, and more.
What you will get!
Students who complete this option will be given recognition as receiving the Bachelor of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering (Electrical Energy Systems Option).
When to apply?
Students are admitted to the Electrical Energy Systems Option at the end of Second Year. Both Co-op and Non Co-op students are welcome. Applications will be accepted online starting mid-February.
