Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, implement and operate systems/solutions/software to address a complex problem in the field of electrical engineering as an essential source of energy in modern society by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Based on modelling and experimentation, design one or more systems/solutions/software addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, with a focus on electrical power engineering, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques related to the basics of electricity, electronics, automatic control, signal processing and analysis, telecommunications, electrotechnical engineering (electrical machines, power electronics), engineering of electricity grids (generation, transmission and distribution), the development of renewable energy sources (wind, photovoltaic), the development, implementation and environmentally-friendly use of electrical systems, and specific techniques for the numerical modelling of power devices.
• Plan, manage and lead projects in view of their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
• Respect deadlines and timescales
• Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Argue to and persuade collaborators, clients, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
• Use and produce high-quality scientific and technical papers (reports, plans, specifications, etc.), adapted particularly to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Adopt a professional and responsible approach, showing an open and critical mind in an independent professional development process.
• Show an open and critical mind by bringing to light technical and non-technical issues of analysed problems and proposed solutions.
• Contribute by researching the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
• Design and implement technical analysis, experimental studies and numerical modelling to address a given problem.

Learning Outcomes of UE

AA Electrical Transients in Power Systems & protections - theoretical concepts : Demonstrate expertise and versatility in the sciences and technology *Formulate and analyse complex problems *Adopt an applied scientific approach *Innovate *Implement solutions *Plan and carry out projects in engineering *Master scientific and technical communication *Be a critical, reflexive and independent professional *Be a responsible person, in step with the stakes of society. And, more specifically, understand power systems in the transient state; calculate short-circuit currents in symmetrical and non symmetrical faults; understand switching transients and overvoltage phenomena in power systems. AA Application to Renewable-Dominated Distribution Systems : *Demonstrate expertise and versatility in the sciences and technology *Formulate and analyse complex problems *Adopt an applied scientific approach *Innovate *Implement solutions *Plan and carry out projects in engineering *Master scientific and technical communication *Be a critical, reflexive and independent professional *Be a responsible person, in step with the stakes of society. And, more specifically, apply the theoretical notions studied in the learning activity dedicated to disturbed steady-state operation of power systems in the case of distribution systems with high shares of photovoltaic generation: unbalance factor computation, risk of overvoltage and techno-economic evaluation of mitigating solutions (e.g. storage)
