Overview
Details
Objectives
It responds to the European Commission expectations and objectives in increasing the share of renewable generation and reach the energy and climate targets. It trains students to tackle in a new way the current and future challenges of smart power systems. Therefore, kernel knowledge from the fields of Power Systems, Smart Grids, Renewable Generation, Automatic Control and Power Electronics is combined to give to the students the opportunity to acquire a global “system view” of the dynamics of the next generation of power systems. Applications are welcome from all these fields. Teaching during the programme will bring together knowledge from these fields in order to promote a more integrated way of thinking, which is the holistic view in order to form multidisciplinary specialists trained for the new jobs and challenges of future power systems.
Sectors:
Electrical sector, distribution of energy, power systems regeneration, manufacturers, regulatory commissions
Fields:
Engineering studies and development, Research and development departments, industrial and/or academic research
Mobility scheme
DREAM students will spend their first semester in France to acquire background in Power Systems and Automatic Control and will move for the second semester to Germany, Spain or Romania. The third semester can be undertaken in any of the HEI partners, by choosing one of the following specialisations:
- Smart grids dynamics and control
- Transmission/distribution/microgrids (France)
- Advanced wind turbine control, protection systems (Germany)
- Power electronics in power systems (Spain)
- Smart power systems (Romania)
The mobility scheme will thus consist in visiting 2 or 3 EU countries in the first 3 semesters. Semester 4 is set aside for the Master’s Thesis.
The students will then receive a double or triple degrees from the institution in which they studied.

Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJMs)
Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) are programmes of excellence and should contribute to the integration and internationalisation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The specificity of EMJMs lies in the high degree of jointness/integration among the participating institutions and the excellence of their academic content.
EMJMs aim to enhance the attractiveness and excellence of European higher education in the world and attract talent to Europe, through a combination of:
- institutional academic cooperation to showcase European excellence in higher education, and
- individual mobility for all students taking part in an EMJM, with EU-funded scholarships for the best applicants
