European Master on Control of Renewable Energy Systems (EU-CORE) is a 2-year Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's degree programme with 120 ECTS. The programme is divided into four semesters of 30 ECTS each. The partner universities implementing the programme are Ecole Centrale Nantes (coordinator of the programme), University of Zagreb and Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg. Within University of Zagreb the programme is performed at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing.
The objective of EU-CORE is to train top-level engineers from across the world on the design of advanced control technologies for renewable energy systems and to contribute to the emergence of a new generation of graduates who are needed to achieve Europe's environmental and energy ambitions under the Green Deal. The programme covers the main renewable energy sources and energy storage technologies, focussed on their associated control issues. Thanks to a selection of top-level academic and industrial partners, the skills developed throughout the EU-CORE programme open the door to a wide variety of careers in the renewable energy industry and in academia. The academic programme includes also soft/transferable skills training during Winter/Summer Schools in Nantes and Dubrovnik. In this way, EU-CORE offers a high degree of permeability between education, research, innovation, soft-skills, industrial needs, and environmental concerns.
The University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing is participating in the EU-CORE programme execution in its second and fourth semester with teaching staff from its LARES, SGLab and LAMOR research laboratories. Methodology-wise focus is on optimization, predictive control and estimation, with applications in solar energy and smart grids. The first semester in Nantes puts focus on linear and nonlinear control, wind energy and power conversion. The third semester in Cottbus is focussed on thermal and chemical engineering and optimization, with applications in energy storage technologies and geothermal energy.
