Masters programme
The Master of Science programme in Electrical
Engineering at TU Delft offers the track: Electrical
Power Engineering. This two-year track is designed
for students with a Bachelors degree in Electrical
Engineering. It is taught in English. Each year of the
programme begins in September.
When you join TU Delfts track in Electrical Power
Engineering, you will get an in-depth understanding
of the challenges that electrical power engineers must
overcome. The programme covers a wide range of
issues, including renewable energy, smart grids,
environmentally friendly material technologies, the
decentralisation of power generation, power-systems
operation, power electronics and electrical machines.
Programme Specialisations
The track offers the following specialisations:
Graduation projects
Some examples of recent graduation projects are:
Optimisation of on-site partial discharge measurements and
evaluation of diagnostic parameters for assessing the
condition of distribution cable systems
Control of a multi-terminal voltage-source converter HVDC
for offshore wind power
Sustainable off-grid power for rural areas
Wireless power transfer for e-mobility
Directional relay coordination in ungrounded radial
distribution networks using a real-time digital simulator
Design of fault-tolerant energy conversion systems for
increasing wind turbine reliability
Professor
Braham Ferreira
My chair is entitled Power Electronics and Electric Machines,
and I am heading a group that
investigates electrical power
conversion. Examples include
the conversion of mechanical to
electrical power in wind turbines
and the supply of electrical power
to computers and LED lights.
Students consider E-Mobility as
an exciting new application of our
technology. We are playing an
active role in designing drive
systems for electric vehicles and
plug-in hybrid vehicles, ranging from wireless battery-charging
stations to generators for range extenders. The electric
vehicles that we investigate are not limited to automobiles and
bicycles. For example, one of our thesis students designed an
electrical motor that can turn the rotor blades in a hybrid
helicopter using super-conductor windings.
Experimental work is important to us, and we have a wellequipped laboratory in which graduate students work on their
research projects and in which undergraduate students from
electrical, mechanical and aerospace engineering do practicals.
Students consider the study programme stimulating and
challenging because our field is multidisciplinary, requiring a
working knowledge of electronics, electro-mechanics, power
systems and embedded control. Students are also excited by
the level of interest that partners in the industry are showing
for our research. Given that electrical power conversion is
essential for improving energy efficiency and harvesting
renewable energy and because of our good reputation
our students easily find well-paid jobs.

Career prospects
Career opportunities for electrical power engineers are
exceptionally good, both in the Netherlands and abroad.
Graduates can choose from a number of career paths, with
attractive positions open to starting engineers in the areas of
product design, consultancy and research. At higher levels,
electrical power engineers often move into management
positions. Electrical power engineers are found in larger
