The UPM Master's Degree in Energy Engineering visits Master Battery and the Ciudadenergía Campus
- The outdoor demonstration area, which integrates storage systems in real operation in a green and sustainable environment, became one of the most highly rated points of the tour by the students.
Madrid (Spain) 04.11.2025. – Students from the Master's Degree in Energy Engineering (MUIE) at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), accompanied by Professor Alberto Abánades, visited the Master Battery facilities and the Ciudadenergía Campus for a day focused on learning about the energy storage technologies developed by the company and the activities of the Master Battery – UPM Chair.
The session began with a technical conference given by Miguel Manjón, CTO of Master Battery, who presented the company's main lines of development, organised into four technological blocks: UPower lead-acid and lithium batteries, Mastercell primary batteries and Masterpower power electronics systems. Real-life examples of industrial applications and advanced solutions such as BESS systems, LFP and LTO batteries, and PCS equipment for renewable energy integration were also shown.
The group then toured the product showroom and later accessed the outdoor live demonstration area, an extension of the showroom where the storage equipment is installed and in operation. This space, integrated into a green and landscaped environment, is the result of the regeneration of a former scrap yard, transformed by Master Battery into an educational area that reflects its commitment to sustainability, environmental recovery and landscape improvement.
The day ended on the solar roof of the corporate building, where the self-consumption system with storage that supplies both the facilities and the company's electric fleet was explained.
Master Battery Chair – UPM Award for Best Master's Thesis
During the visit, students were presented with the MUIE Award for Best Master's Thesis, worth €1,000 gross, which recognises the most outstanding projects in the field of energy storage using electrochemical batteries or related technologies. The Master Battery Chair – UPM also offers internship opportunities for students, reinforcing its commitment to innovation, applied research and the training of specialised talent in energy transition.
