Supergen ORE hub 2018

英国在海上可再生能源（ORE）技术的开发、采用和出口方面处于领先地位：海上风能（OW）、波浪能和潮汐能。为了保持这一优势，英国必须带头研究和创新ORE，这将加速其采用并扩大这些技术的适用性。整个行业的许多组织都在为ORE研发（R&D）协调做出贡献，ORE Supergen枢纽战略将发挥领导作用，与这些活动相结合，指导和提供基础研究，以推动ORE行业的发展。Supergen ORE中心的作用是为ORE社区提供研究领导，以实现未来规模ORE的转型。该中心将阐明未来规模ORE能源格局的愿景，将确定所需的创新和支持创新所需的基础研究。它还将为研究和创新转化为行业实践、政策适应和公众意识提供途径，以支持更多地部署ORE技术，降低能源成本，同时提高能源安全，减少二氧化碳排放并支持英国就业。该中心将与ORE Catapult（ORECAT）密切合作，并与英国和国际上的行业，政府，更广泛的研究界建立良好的联系。它将汇集这些团体的专业知识和经验，以确定和针对创新，研究和行动，以实现英国雄心勃勃的能源转型设想。新的Supergen ORE中心将继续支持和建立在这三个研究领域（OW，波浪和潮汐技术）现有的国际领先的学术能力，同时也使共同的研究挑战共享学习。ORE中心将建立一个多学科的协作方法，通过分享最佳实践和利用协同效应带来好处，支持平等和多样性以及下一代研究领导者的发展。中心战略概述了研究和创新优先事项，这些优先事项将通过多种途径解决，但通过中心联系起来，旨在促进研究界和行业部门协调一致的活动，以最大限度地参与通过和超越枢纽时间尺度的优先研究挑战。这些措施包括：1.网络和参与活动，使研究界与行业和其他利益相关者聚集在一起，以确保社区内的研究工作是一致的，互补的，并保持行业挑战的启发或相关性。这将包括支持和发展ECR社区，以确保可持续性并促进整个部门的EDI。还将采取行动，以确定潜在的交叉研究协同作用和机会，在部门和学科之间转移研究，无论是内部和外部的ORE。此外，围绕社区对部门研究挑战的进展建立的结构化沟通计划将促进开发和商业化。2.一套核心研究工作包，涉及选定的优先专题，并根据共同主任小组的跨领域专门知识进行安排，以最大限度地实现部门目标。3.有针对性地使用灵活基金作为玉米种子活动，从而导致与中心保持一致并与其建立伙伴关系的项目。

The UK is at the forefront of the development, adoption and export of Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) technologies: offshore wind (OW), wave and tidal energy. To sustain this advantage, the UK must spearhead research and innovation in ORE, which will accelerate its adoption and widen the applicability of these technologies. Many organisations across the industry-academia spectrum contribute to ORE research and development (R&D) co-ordination and the ORE Supergen hub strategy will take a leadership role, integrating with these activities to guide and deliver fundamental research to advance the ORE sector. The role of the Supergen ORE hub is to provide research leadership for the ORE community to enable transformation to future scale ORE. The hub will articulate the vision for the future scale ORE energy landscape, will identify the innovations required and the fundamental research needed to underpin the innovation. It will also generate the pathway for translation of research and innovation into industry practice, for policy adaptation and public awareness in order to support the increased deployment of ORE technologies, reducing energy costs while increasing energy security, reducing CO2 emissions and supporting UK jobs. The hub will work closely with the ORE Catapult (ORECAT) and become well-connected with industry, government, the wider research community in the UK and internationally. It will bring together these groups to assemble the expertise and experience to define and target the innovations, research and actions to achieve the ambitious energy transformation envisioned for the UK.The new Supergen ORE hub will continue to support and build on the existing internationally leading academic capacity within these three research areas (OW, wave and tidal technology), whilst also enabling shared learning on common research challenges. The ORE hub will build a multi-disciplinary, collaborative approach, which will bring benefits through the sharing of best practice and exploitation of synergy, support equality and diversity and the development of the next generation of research leaders.The hub strategy provides an overview of research and innovation priorities, which will be addressed through multiple routes but linked through the hub, with activities designed to stimulate alignment across the research community and industry sectors to maximise engagement with prioritised research challenges through and beyond the hub time-scale. These include:1. Networking and engagement activities to bring the research community together with industry and other stakeholders to ensure research efforts within the community are aligned, complementary and remain inspired by or relevant to industry challenges. This will include support and development of the ECR community to ensure sustainability and promote EDI within the sector as a whole. Actions will also be taken to identify potential cross over research synergies and opportunities for transfer of research between sectors and disciplines, both within and external to ORE. Furthermore, a structured communication plan built around progress of the community towards the sector research challenges will promote exploitation and commercialisation. 2. A set of core research work packages addressing priority topics selected and structured to maximize progress towards the sector objectives and building on the cross cutting expertise of the co-director team. 3. Targeted use of flexible fund as seed-corn activity leading to projects aligned with, and in partnership with, the hub.
