Project Summary

This project aims to adapt existing or create new Master of Science Programs in South East Asia Countries aiming at energy supply optimization focusing on Isolated Areas, such as unelectrified areas, island systems etc. Education on various aspects of Energy Supply covering Energy Management, Renewable Energy Sources (RES) utilization, Energy conservation, Intelligent materials application to energy sector and Demand Side management have become a reality on both EU and partner countries. Mastering Energy Supply focusing on Isolated Areas (MESfIA) emphasizes on meeting the need for systematic training on the aforementioned issues for application on the fragile environment of isolated areas. MESfIA main goal is to improve the capacities of the students and teachers of Partner Countries to apply specific skills for the efficient energy supply of isolated areas. This is in line with the needs of these countries where the unelectrified areas are rural areas and according to IEA unelectrified population exceeds 50 million people. MESfIA consortium will prepare a detailed planning of training cycles including scheduling and effort management for the implementation of training courses that will be run in each Partner country. The scope is to provide postgraduate training for Electrical, mechanical engineers and technicians so that they can realize and cope with the difficulties in Isolated Environments and the associated peculiarities with energy management on such systems even in stronger power systems. Apart from knowledge, MESfIA will aid in the legal establishment of recognized MSc titles so that their students can take advantage of participation in applying for jobs in regions with relatively low electrification level and many islands.Within this procedure MESfIA will aid in establishing EU-Asia co-operation at regional level-island regions as common problems require common solutions. This will be sought via workshops, conferences and well defined extovert actions.
