Upon completion of the course the student will be able to: Teaching methods This is an online course with distant learning, video lectures in Moodle and weekly assignments. Assessment is based on weekly assignments. More information in
Electrical transport in solids and interfaces
The course will give understanding of the transport mechanisms in different materials and learn how real devices based on those phenomena actually work. Bringing two solid conductors into contact with each other very often results in new interesting phenomena that can lead to new devices with even industrial applications. On this course, we will study
Applied electrochemistry
This course gives students basic knowledge in electrochemistry and some of its common applications, for example scanning electrochemical microscopy. Also theoretical knowledge of other electrochemical concepts such as fuel cells, supercapacitors and batteries will be presented. After the course, the students are familiar with the following electrochemical concepts/techniques/preparation methods: Teaching methods: Lectures, calculation and laboratory
Engineering thermodynamics
This course is for those who wish to refresh and deepen their knowledge in thermodynamics. During the course you will get acquainted with the foundations of thermodynamics, and how these can be used to tackle some engineering problems using mathematical models. Course contents Key topics in the course are the use of macro balances for
Smart grids – active networks and microgrids

Gas technology
This course makes the students familiar with central processes in gas technology such as gas cooling, heating, storing and combustion. Learning outcomes After this course, the student will be able to Teaching methods The course is lectured at Åbo Akademi in Vaasa, but it can also be completed remotely. The course is streamed for students
Smart grid
Attendance at two lectures is compulsory, but otherwise distance learning is possible. After the course the student can explain different functions of modern electric power systems. They understand the challenges of large scale integration of variable renewable energy sources like wind and solar power in energy systems and is able to suggest solutions to challenges
Electrical energy storage systems
This course presents an overview of energy storage and conversion technologies. Since different energy storage technologies have different features (e.g., capacity, energy density, power density, efficiency, charging cycles), selecting a proper technology for a given application is studied by means of analysis and case examples. The course focuses on developing the system level understanding of
Battery energy storages in smart grids
Learning outcomes After completing the course, the student In addition, the course will cover topics related to electric vehicles effects on Smart Grids and multi-objective management of batteries in future power systems. Course exercise(s) will enable student to obtain in-depth understanding related to some relevant battery storage topic. Teaching schedule Final scheduling available in August
Energy harvesting technologies
The course was previously under the name Small/medium power energy harvesting and storage devices. Course contents Learning outcomes After the course, students will have learned how to implement energy supply by harvesting energy from the environment and storage it in an efficient way. Additionally, the students will Completion methods The course will be implemented in
