Master Erasmus Mundus "Decentralized Smart Energy Systems" - DENSYS

Decentralised smart energy systems (e.g. isolated villages, small cities, urban districts, rural areas connected or not to the electric grid, etc.) play an increasing role in the perspective of a transition towards a low carbon society and then of a massive integration of renewable energy sources within the global energy system.

Accordingly, the overall goals of the proposed EMJMD “DENSYS” are the following:

  • To educate top skilled engineers with multiphysics approaches, who will be able to design, size, optimize and operate decentralised smart energy systems, with skills and expertise in the mechanical, aeronautical, chemical and electrical engineering disciplines and a sufficient level of systemic overview, which enables analysing the complex interactions in energy systems,
  • To train future researchers (for both public and private sectors), as decentralized energy systems still require strong R&D investments, at the system scale (smart management), at the component scale (e.g. optimization of the lifespan, energy efficiency or density of the system’s components, …) and at the elementary mechanisms scale.
  • To offer a broad opening on the human and social sciences to enable the students in having a general understanding and a holistic view of the energy systems and finally working with specialists of other disciplines by addressing particularly some non-technical issues: impact in the territories, social acceptance, economical issues, new business models, the active role of the consumer/producer in the systems.
  • To provide to students an international network as well as a genuine European learning, an integrated multicultural and language experience.

The EMJMD “DENSYS” programme has been inspired by the completed UNI-SET project. Coordinated by the European University Association (EUA), this project aimed at supporting the participation of universities in the SET Plan process and in EU energy research in general (for more details see the Energy Action Agenda).

Follow three associated partners of DENSYS which particularly involved in the DENSYS program. ESADE Business School, Spain, will organize a summer school dedicated to business and entrepreneurship in Energy. An immersive week will be hosted at Liège Université (Montefiore Institute), Belgium with a classes on AI and digitalization for he management of energy systems. Finally,  InnoEnergy SE is also very supportive of our program which is in line with its philosophy “pioneering change in sustainable energy“.
