EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Energy Storage and its Applications

按需储存和释放能源的能力对于以清洁、无污染和可持续的可再生能源为基础的能源未来至关重要。这包括电力和热能，目前正在开发大量技术来满足这一需求。储能将成为本世纪的主要产业，并将在全球雇用数十万人。储能将无处不在--在连接到电网的大型电池中，在家庭中储存太阳能电池板产生的能量，在汽车中取代汽油发动机。为了迎接这一挑战，并确保英国在这一行业发挥重要作用，我们将成立一个博士生培训中心，培训最高水平的研究人员，帮助形成并影响储能技术的发展方向。我们的学生将接受能源的所有方面的培训，但专注于电化学储存(电池和超级电容器)、机械储存、热储存和超导磁性储能的核心技术。他们将有机会与实业家互动，并获得运行并网锂离子电池的经验。他们还将开展一个为期三年的重大研究项目，让他们能够专门研究他们选择的主题。

The ability to store and release energy on demand is essential to an energy future that is based on clean, non-polluting and sustainable renewable energy. This includes both electrical and thermal energy and a large number of technologies are being developed to fulfil this need.Energy storage will become a major industry in our century and will employ hundreds of thousands of people globally. Energy storage will be everywhere - in large scale batteries connected to electrical networks, in homes to store energy generated from solar panels and in cars, replacing petrol engines.In order to meet this challenge and to ensure that UK plays an important role in this industry we will form a Centre of Doctoral Training in to train researchers at the highest level to help form and influence the direction of Energy Storage technologies.Our students will receive training in all aspects of energy but concentrating on the core technologies of electrochemical storage (batteries and supercapacitors), mechanical storage, thermal storage and superconducting magnetic energy storage. They will have the opportunity to interact with industrialists and gain experience in running a grid connected Lithium-ion battery. They will also undertake a major three-year research project allowing them to specialise in the topic of their choice.
