Organisation profile

Wind and Marine Energy are the most promising renewable energies for the UK and their contribution to electricity generation is central to UK plans to meet binding EU obligations to provide 15 per cent of all UK energy from non-carbon sources by 2020.

The Centre of Doctoral Training in Wind and Marine Energy Systems brings together leading UK research groups in Wind Energy, at Strathclyde University, and Marine Energy, at Edinburgh University, to address the many technical challenges.

The scope of the Centre will include all aspects of the technologies including resource assessment, device design, installation, operation and maintenance and grid-integration.
