History of Energy: Online Course for AI Engineers

The energy sector did not begin in the digital age. Long before AI, big data and digital substations came scientific discoveries, engineering innovations, industrial revolutions and the development of power stations, grids and interconnected power systems.

Students on the 01.04.04 Artificial Intelligence in Electric Power Engineering programme study the History of Energy through an online course.

What does the course cover?

It traces the development of energy systems, from early technical solutions to modern electric power infrastructure, digitalisation and emerging industry challenges.

How is the course delivered?

The online format allows students to follow the material in sequence, explore major milestones in energy development and understand links between technology, society, industry and contemporary engineering tasks.

What makes the subject distinctive?

It offers a wider perspective on energy. Developing AI solutions for this sector requires an understanding not only of algorithms but also of why specific technologies emerged, the problems engineers were solving and the challenges that remain today.

Applications are accepted until 17 August.
