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Strathclyde大学建立风能系统中的DTC。这将使Strathclyde的员工具有深入的专业知识，其中涵盖了风能，转子空气动力学，风力涡轮机结构分析，涡轮机控制，电源转换，状况监测和电气网络集成问题，以创建与风能工业的牢固联系的中心，这些链接可为PHD学生提供刺激性的环境。该中心将在皇家学院大楼内的空间中被安置，并特别考虑了DTC的要求。最新的风力涡轮机设计建模软件将与各种电源系统和计算建模套件一起提供给学生。利用与预期强大的ETI资助研究活动的联系的更广泛的目标是创建一个中心，DTC AT IS Core，这在风能系统技术方面是国际领先的，并且与丹麦，美国，德国和荷兰的中心相当。为了满足风能行业的跨学科研究要求，一个实质性的中心将单个站点上的所有相关技能汇集在一起​​至关重要。这需要大量的员工和早期研究人员，该提议将提供的那种。政府和其他报道也很明显，除非大学大幅度地增加了该领域的活动规模，否则英国和其他地方风能的预计增长将受到熟练工程师的严重短缺的限制。
