Energy and power categories

First, professional introduction:

Category: engineering, discipline: energy and power, educational system: four years, discipline selection: physics/materialization.

Energy and power mainly studies the development, collection, transportation, storage, utilization and transformation of various energy sources, as well as the design, production and commissioning of required equipment. For example: thermoelectric, hydropower, photovoltaic power generation, new energy storage technology, heat engine operation and efficiency improvement.

Second, the employment prospects:

1. Fossil energy field: departments of large central state-owned enterprises such as coal, oil and natural gas, including their subordinate research and design institutes.

2. Power system: thermal power plant in the south of State Grid.

3. Clean energy (new energy) field: photovoltaic power generation, nuclear power plant and wind power generation.

4. Take the public exam.

Third, pay attention to application:

What can I learn from my active major?

Core courses: thermodynamics, engineering thermodynamics, engineering thermophysics, fluid mechanics, mechanical design, heat transfer, automatic control principle, modern control theory, process control, engineering chemistry, engineering drawing CAD, etc.

The discipline foundation of power specialty is thermodynamics, and students also need to have knowledge reserves of chemistry, materials, machinery and automation. After training, students not only have professional knowledge and skills, but also have certain CAD drawing and computer programming skills.

On new energy industry

Compared horizontally, the universality of photoelectricity and nuclear power is better. Many thermal power plants have new energy departments, mainly engaged in photoelectric (solar power generation). Nuclear power needs to work in areas with nuclear power plants. There are 22 nuclear power plants in China.

Wind power and hydropower are relatively limited by the region. Wind power is less used in North China and East China Plain, and there is more room for development in the western region. The construction of hydropower stations requires a large terrain gap, and large hydropower stations are distributed in the middle and upper reaches of the two rivers.

By the way, introduce new energy vehicles. The energy storage technology specialty of power will involve lithium batteries, which needs to be studied in depth at the graduate stage.

What does learning kinetic energy do?

It can be divided into four categories according to the field of work.

1. Fossil energy refers to coal, oil and natural gas. Graduates can enter large state-owned enterprises and engage in technical work related to automatic energy collection and transportation, energy storage and energy conversion.

2. Power system. To apply for the State Grid, the power major is not as advantageous as the electrical major, and most graduates choose to enter the thermal power plant.

3. New energy leads the city. The new energy here refers to new energy (clean energy) in a broad sense, such as photovoltaic power generation, hydropower, wind power and nuclear power.

4. Establishment of civil servants and institutions. There are fewer positions in dynamic specialty, which is not recommended as the basis for choosing dynamic specialty.

Fourth, the university academic advice:

Learn to take the initiative and recommend graduate school.

The employment direction of undergraduate graduates is generally limited to thermoelectric and fossil energy. If you choose to go to graduate school, a considerable number of graduate tutors will take new energy technologies as their research direction, and master graduates will have a wider choice of industries. On the other hand, the work of some undergraduate graduates involves overseas dispatch. Under the comprehensive comparison, it is suggested that students majoring in dynamics take the postgraduate entrance examination.
