• This module is designed solely for students studying on the Master of Energy Systems Management.
• To provide an overview and describe the characteristics of the Internet of Everything (IoE) as relevant to energy systems.
• To explain the working principles of sensors, embedded systems, energy management, data handling approaches and networking protocols relevant to the Internet of Everything.
• To explain the technical, economical and ethical challenges associated with the development of the IoE within energy systems.

• Sensor technologies for energy system measurements
• Networking protocols
• Embedded processors
• Power management techniques and technology
• Data processing
• Economic and ethical implications of the IoE within energy systems.

Subject-specific Knowledge:

• A knowledge of benefits and limitations of technologies currently used or being developed for the IoE for energy system measurement, operation and management.
• An appreciation of the requirements for low power operation and the impact on the associated electronic system design.
• An understanding of relevant sensor, embedded processing, networking and power management technologies.
• A knowledge of trends and developments for IoE in energy systems including the ethical implications.

Subject-specific Skills:

• An ability to draw together knowledge of current technology, design and commercial practice to provide innovative solutions.
• An ability to perform critical assessment and review of systems using specialised and advanced technical and professional skills.

Key Skills:

• Capacity for independent self-learning within the bounds of professional practice.
• Specialised numerical skills appropriate to an engineer.
• Mathematics relevant to the application of advanced engineering concepts.

• The module content is delivered in lectures.
• Students can make use of staff 'Tutorial Hours' to discuss any aspect of the module with teaching staff. These are sign up sessions which will be available to the students.
• The coursework assessment requires students to evaluate and communicate technical IoE concepts in the context of energy systems.
