The discipline of energy engineering deals with energy efficiency issues by reducing energy loads and increasing relative systems performance. This study field is closely related to environmental protection where the sub-discipline of alternative energy engineering plays an important role. It is related to environmental compliance factor which becomes more important in modern society. This study field seeks to provide both theoretical and practical insights that have sustainable value considering application in the energetic sector.
The Engineering and Public Policy PhD programme is an interdisciplinary endeavor focused on the technology management and policy issues that arise when designing, developing, implementing and managing networked infrastructures, with specializations in information and communication technologies policy and in energy policy.
The PhD program in Sustainable Energy Systems aims to promote a new generation of sustainability-aware leaders in energy systems and economics, and to generate and communicate new knowledge in energy systems core areas. Its focus is on combining a multidisciplinary effort, including engineering and economic domains, focused on energy systems analysis and design in the context of sustainable development. This program is offered as part of the MIT-Portugal initiative.
In few words we can say that the ultimate goal of our programme is to educate excellent young and, respectively, the new researchers in the field of electrical engineering.
Description of the center and the fields of research : The CEP has developed skills in many fields that are useful for studying the transformation of matter and energy. Attention focuses on complex energy systems, particularly in transient conditions, and on controlling their environmental impacts. CEP research activities are organized according three strategic areas : 1 : Energy efficiency (building, industry, transport) 2 : Decarbonization of processes and fuels (CO2 capture, alternative fuels) 3 : Renewable energies (resource evaluation and prediction, integration optimization, environmental impacts) These areas gather all CEP research activities in a consistent set of expertise orientated towards the major preoccupations of different economic sectors and the society as a whole in terms of sustainable development. Cross-cutting activities on the input of nanomaterials and environmental impacts evaluation are also considered. Contact : M. Bruno PEUPORTIER bruno.peuportier@mines-paristech.fr
As a part of the CEA (French Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission), the National Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology (INSTN) is a higher education institution under the joint supervision of the Ministries in charge of higher Education and Industry.
Promoted by FEUP in cooperation with FCUL, ISEG, IST, together with the MIT, the PhD program consists in one curricular year (60 ECTS) and two to three years of research leading to a dissertation (120 ECTS) and grants the degree of Doctor in Sustainable Energy Systems. TARGET STUDENTS The courses are open for: • M.Sc. graduates in Mechanical, Electrical and Environmental Engineering or in other areas recognized as relevant by the Scientific Commission of the programme. • Graduates in Mechanical, Electrical and Environmental Engineering or in other areas recognized as relevant by the Scientific Commission of the programme. CURRICULAR PLAN The official curricular plan of the SES PhD program is currently under restructuring. 3 graduation profiles have been defined: • Energy Systems Planning (Engineering and Economics). • Sustainable Built Environment. • Advanced Electric Networks.
With the PhD Programme in Energy and Nuclear Science and Technology, the Department of Energy offers to graduate students a research opportunity in the following areas: production, conversion and transmission of energy, rational use of energy and environmental control, thermal science, nuclear systems and nuclear fuel cycle, radioprotection and application of ionizing radiations, methods for safety and reliability analysis and development of innovative materials for energy applications.
