Welcome to the Division of Power Engineering. This academic group of faculty members specializes in electrical power and energy technologies. It is one of the entities of Nanyang Technological University which has been a significant part of the Peak of Excellence in ‘Sustainable Earth’. Its academic and research activities are targeted at energy sustainability for mankind.

The core educational activities of the faculty members of the Division are the senior-year courses of Power and Clean Energy Specialization program, which allow B.Eng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) candidates to graduate with specialized knowledge in the electrical power and clean energy area. Our faculty members also offer power and energy related undergraduate courses for Energy Minor, Environmental Sustainability, and B.Eng (Aerospace) programs. At postgraduate level, our professors conduct courses for the Master of Science in Power Engineering, which has been well received by the regional power industries. Our professors have also graduated many M.Eng and PhD research students, contributing to high-quality research and academic manpower for Asia in power and energy system areas.

In research, our faculty members have been at the forefront of emerging sustainable energy system technologies by leveraging on our inherent core strengths in power systems and power electronics. Our faculty has secured in recent years more than S$15 million of external research grants for various projects in efficient solar energy based systems for water production, in intelligent energy distribution and storage systems, and in wind and marine renewables. These funded projects have also been valuable in providing research staff training at postgraduate and postdoctoral levels. Our faculty members are also active in translational research and outreach programs. They are currently championing the Intelligent Energy Systems test-bedding pilot project in NTU’s Yunnan Campus. Our industrial partners include Vestas, Rolls-Royce and Panasonic.
