University College of Southeast Norway

Do you want to explore the technology behind sustainable energy solutions, as well as how to regulate energy supply that is based on hydropower? Become an expert in hydropower and power supply!

Sustainable energy use in the future requires a greater focus on electricity as an energy carrier. Our master program is anchored in hydropower, which is the most effective form of renewable energy. Hydropower is also easy to regulate, which means that the social value of hydropower is higher than that of many other power sources. Considerable challenges have arisen in the further development of the power system in Norway and elsewhere through the introduction of greater amounts of unregulated energy production, such as a small-scale production of hydro, wind and solar power....
