Project Summary

Countries in Region 6 currently undergo rapid industrial evolution and industrialisation process. It is resulting in a significant increase in energy demand, in particular, electricity. Cheap, safe and reliable electricity supply is key conditions for further economic and social development. However, the requirement of affordable electricity should respect the principles of sustainable development, environmental protection and take into consideration the social aspects of the intensive development of the energy sector. To maintain the balance between economic development and environmental protection, it is necessary to learn and apply advanced technical solutions and cutting-edge technologies involving development and grid integration of renewable energy sources.Higher education (HE) institutions are expected to produce technical staff, engineers, experts and tutors which will able to design, maintain and further develop advanced technical solution, as well as to train other staff resources like technicians and managers, who will be up to the job and ready to effectively and efficiently adopted and use modern power technologies. Unfortunately, at the moment HEI in many countries in Region 6 do not offer such education programmes. It is necessary to transpose available EU education programmes and adjust them to the local requirements and local peculiarities (regulations, environment conditions). The main objective of the eACCESS proposal is the development or upgrade, implementation and validation of undergraduate and master degree courses in smart power systems in three countries of Region 6: Bhutan, Nepal and Indonesia, development of supporting teaching tools including eACCESS teaching platform, development of new teaching methods and the dissemination and further exploitation of the EU countries knowledge and skills concerning smart power grid and remote teaching systems.The focus of the proposal is on the preparation of exemplary teaching courses, subjects an
