1. A grid operator wants to connect a large wind farm to a weak part of the network. What do you analyse first?

2. Your Master’s thesis could model how battery storage affects grid frequency. How do you feel about that?

3. A plant manager asks you to cut energy losses in a substation. How do you approach it?

4. The programme is taught in English, and your group includes engineers from many countries used to different grid standards. How do you see that?

5. How comfortable are you with differential equations and numerical methods applied to power systems?

6. A blackout hits part of a city after a protection relay trips. You join the investigation team. What do you do?

7. You’re asked to lead a team designing a solar farm with battery storage. How do you handle it?

8. How closely do you follow developments such as smart grids, green hydrogen or offshore wind?

9. Local residents are protesting against a planned high-voltage line. What role do you see for yourself?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Engineering
Engineering is the creative application of science, mathematical methods, and empirical evidence to the innovation, design, construction, operation and maintenance of structures, machines, materials, devices, systems, processes, and organizations. The discipline of engineering encompasses a broad range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied mathematics, applied science, and types of application. See glossary of engineering.
Power Engineering
Power engineering, also called power systems engineering, is a subfield of electrical engineering that deals with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electric power, and the electrical apparatus connected to such systems. Although much of the field is concerned with the problems of three-phase AC power – the standard for large-scale power transmission and distribution across the modern world – a significant fraction of the field is concerned with the conversion between AC and DC power and the development of specialized power systems such as those used in aircraft or for electric railway networks. Power engineering draws the majority of its theoretical base from electrical engineering.
Engineering
Engineers should press forward with development to meet the diversified needs of people
Harold Chestnut (1981) attributed in: Dr. Harold Chestnut: 1981 Honda Prize Laureate in: Honda Prize Ecotechnology Quote
Engineering
Engineering is too important to wait for science.
Benoît Mandelbrot As quoted in "Fractal Finance" by Greg Phelan in Yale Economic Review (Fall 2005)
Engineering
A man should build a house with his own hands before he calls himself an engineer.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1963), One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, p. 98
