To build new research capability in order to address nationally strategic objectives for the support of health of discipline in priority areass such as electrical power engineering and energy. Such new capacity would be intended to undertake research and support the growth of UK industry innovation. This is a project that requires major investments to provide adequate breadth and depth in order to increase prospective research impacts, therefore consortium partners (apart from EPSRC) include Rolls-Royce, ScottishPower, National Grid and Strathclyde University. The proposed investment acknowledges that there has been a serious reduction of academic staff specialising in electrical power engineering in UK-HEIs. It is also recognised that, in order to retain and develop electrical power research capability, there is a need to take a joint HEI, industry & government approach to investment and commitment in this area. The support of research centres with the necessary critical mass to undertake basic, strategic and applied research is seen as a strategic imperative. UK industry and society will benefit greatly from a sustainable, active, internationally leading research base in electrical power engineering and energy systems. In addition to the erosion of the electrical power research base, there is a serious reduction in the undergraduate and postgraduate populations that new, active academic staff could help to address (c.f. recent IEE review and subsequent establishment of the Power Academy). It is important to note that these principles are also entirely consistent with subsequent objectives that have emerged in the EPSRC Science and Innovation Awards scheme. As such, the proposed programme, incorporating major industrial funding, provides additional value and scope to complement the first round EPSRC Science and Innovation Awards. The funding commitment from each of the industrial partners along with direct Strathclyde commitments will provide significant added value to the proposed EPSRC Star investments in terms of research scope, scale and critical mass.

建立新的研究能力，以解决国家战略目标，以支持优先领域（例如电力工程和能源）的纪律健康。这种新的能力将旨在进行研究并支持英国行业创新的增长。这是一个需要大量投资来提供足够的广度和深度以增加前瞻性研究影响的项目，因此财团合作伙伴（除EPSRC外）包括Rolls-Royce，Scottish Powers，National Grid，National Grid和Strathclyde University。拟议的投资承认，专门从事英国电气工程的学术人员大幅减少了。还认识到，为了保留和发展电力研究能力，有必要采取联合HEI，行业和政府在这一领域采取投资和承诺的方法。具有必要临界质量的研究中心的支持，以进行基本，战略和应用研究是一种战略当务之急。英国工业和社会将从电力工程和能源系统领域的可持续，积极，国际领先的研究基础中受益匪浅。除了电力研究基础的侵蚀外，本科和研究生人口的大幅减少，新的活跃的学术人员可以帮助解决（C.F.最近的IEE审查，并随后建立了Power Academy）。重要的是要注意，这些原则也与EPSRC科学和创新奖计划中出现的后续目标完全一致。因此，拟议的计划结合了主要的工业资金，提供了其他价值和范围，以补充第一轮EPSRC科学与创新奖。每个工业合作伙伴的资金承诺以及直接的Strathclyde承诺将为拟议的EPSRC Star Investments提供研究范围，规模和临界质量的额外价值。
