EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Wind and Marine Energy Systems and Structures

这项建议是为了建立一个新的EPSRC风能和海洋能源系统与结构博士培训中心(CDT-WAMSS)，该中心将两个成功的EPSRC风能和海洋能源系统与结构博士培训中心、它们的工业合作伙伴以及迄今为止培训了130多名海上可再生能源(ORE)研究人员的良好记录结合在一起。新的CDT将创建一个全面的、世界领先的中心，涵盖风能和海洋可再生能源的方方面面，包括水面和水下。它将培养出具有多学科专业知识、深厚的专业知识和对相关全能源系统有广泛了解的高技能行业准备工程师。我们的毕业生将成为世界范围内未来工业和学术界的领导者，推动矿石行业的发展，帮助实现政府2050年的碳减排目标，并确保英国保持在这个至关重要的行业的前沿。为了让学生为他们将工作的行业做好准备，CDT-WAMSS将展望未来，专注于2023年以后相关的领域，这些领域不一定是过去和现在的问题。因此，CDT-WAMSS的范围，除了灌输对风能和海洋能源技术和工程的扎实了解外，还将特别强调：安全和安全系统、新兴的先进电力和控制技术、浮动基础设施、新型基础和锚定系统、材料和结构完整性、远程监测和检查，包括自主干预，所有这些都在具有成本竞争力和环境敏感的情况下进行。拟议的新的EPSRC风能和海洋能源系统和结构CDT将提供无与伦比的近海可再生能源培训环境，支持70名学生，超过5个年龄段的70名学生获得四年制博士学位，拥有100多名国际公认的矿石研究优秀学术导师。这种独特而灵活的分组培训方法，以及在分组内和分组间的专业工程学对等学习，将为学生提供在整个博士学位期间受益的机会，而不仅仅是在第一年。通过资助大量学生以及为培训计划提供建议和贡献，特别强大的行业参与将确保培训和研究具有相关性，并将对英国碳减排目标的实现产生直接影响，使英国能够在这个极其令人兴奋和重要的领域保持其世界领先地位。

This proposal is for a new EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Wind and Marine Energy Systems and Structures (CDT-WAMSS) which joins together two successful EPSRC CDTs, their industrial partners and strong track records of training more than 130 researchers to date in offshore renewable energy (ORE). The new CDT will create a comprehensive, world-leading centre covering all aspects of wind and marine renewable energy, both above and below the water. It will produce highly skilled industry-ready engineers with multidisciplinary expertise, deep specialist knowledge and a broad understanding of pertinent whole-energy systems. Our graduates will be future leaders in industry and academia world-wide, driving development of the ORE sector, helping to deliver the Government's carbon reduction targets for 2050 and ensuring that the UK remains at the forefront of this vitally important sector.In order to prepare students for the sector in which they will work, CDT-WAMSS will look to the future and focus on areas that will be relevant from 2023 onwards, which are not necessarily the issues of the past and present. For this reason, the scope of CDT-WAMSS will, in addition to in-stilling a solid understanding of wind and marine energy technologies and engineering, have a particular emphasis on: safety and safe systems, emerging advanced power and control technologies, floating substructures, novel foundation and anchoring systems, materials and structural integrity, remote monitoring and inspection including autonomous intervention, all within a cost competitive and environmentally sensitive context.The proposed new EPSRC CDT in Wind and Marine Energy Systems and Structures will provide an unrivalled Offshore Renewable Energy training environment supporting 70 students over five cohorts on a four-year doctorate, with a critical mass of over 100 academic supervisors of internationally recognised research excellence in ORE. The distinct and flexible cohort approach to training, with professional engineering peer-to-peer learning both within and across cohorts, will provide students with opportunities to benefit from such support throughout their doctorate, not just in the first year. An exceptionally strong industrial participation through funding a large number of studentships and provision of advice and contributions to the training programme will ensure that the training and research is relevant and will have a direct impact on the delivery of the UK's carbon reduction targets, allowing the country to retain its world-leading position in this enormously exciting and important sector.
