This proposal is to establish a DTC in Wind Energy Systems at the University of Strathclyde. This will bring together staff at Strathclyde with in-depth expertise covering the wind resource, rotor aerodynamics, wind turbine structural analysis, turbine control, power conversion, condition monitoring, and electrical network integration issues to create a Centre of learning and research with strong links to the wind industry that will provide a stimulating environment for the PhD students. The Centre will be accommodated in space within the Royal College Building refurbished with the requirements of the DTC specifically in mind. The latest wind turbine design modelling software will be made available to students alongside a wide range of power system and computation modelling packages. The wider aim, drawing on links to an expected strong ETI funded research activity, is to create a centre, with the DTC at is core, that is internationally leading in wind energy systems technology and on a par with the centres in Denmark, the USA, Germany and the Netherlands. To meet the interdisciplinary research demands of the wind industry a substantial centre bringing together all the relevant skills on a single site is essential. This requires a critical mass of staff and early stage researchers of the sort that this proposal would deliver. It is also clear from Government and other reports that the projected growth of the wind industry in the UK, and elsewhere, will be limited by a severe shortage of skilled engineers unless the universities dramatically increase the scale of their activities in this area.

该建议是在斯特拉斯克莱德大学建立一个风能系统DTC。这将汇集斯特拉斯克莱德的工作人员，他们具有深入的专业知识，涵盖风力资源，转子空气动力学，风力涡轮机结构分析，涡轮机控制，功率转换，状态监测和电网集成问题，以创建一个学习和研究中心，与风力发电行业有着密切的联系，这将为博士生提供一个刺激的环境。该中心将设在皇家学院大楼内的空间内，该大楼经过翻修，特别考虑到了DTC的要求。最新的风力涡轮机设计建模软件将提供给学生一起广泛的电力系统和计算建模包。更广泛的目标，利用与预期的强大的ETI资助的研究活动的联系，是建立一个中心，以DTC为核心，在风能系统技术方面处于国际领先地位，并与丹麦，美国，德国和荷兰的中心相提并论。为了满足风力发电行业的跨学科研究需求，一个将所有相关技能汇集在一个地点的大型中心是必不可少的。这就需要有足够数量的工作人员和本提案所能提供的那种早期研究人员。从政府和其他报告中也可以清楚地看出，除非大学大幅增加其在这一领域的活动规模，否则英国和其他地方风电行业的预期增长将受到熟练工程师严重短缺的限制。
