能源系统研究所正在帮助塑造明天困难的能源决策。<br>该研究所继承了爱丁堡研究人员所做的一系列世界领先的创新，这些创新来自1970年代由史蒂芬·索尔特（Stephen Salter）发明的“鸭子”波能转换器-现在是名誉工程设计教授-直接驱动发电机，波浪产生技术和最新的液压传动系统。
The Institute for Energy Systems (IES) helps shape tomorrow's difficult energy decisions in decarbonising society. It continues a long line of world leading innovation by Edinburgh researchers, including the 1970s 'Duck' wave energy converter, invented by Stephen Salter - now Emeritus Professor of Engineering Design. Our research covers all aspects of the low carbon energy chain: resource modelling, impact of climate change, wind, wave, tidal & solar energy, electrical power conversion, energy storage, carbon capture, biofuels and delivery into the electrical network. In addition, we have established a low carbon vehicle group developing more efficient internal combustion engines. IES is also involved in two doctoral training centres: the Industrial Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE) as a lead partner and the Centre for Doctoral Training in Wind and Marine, led by Strathclyde University.
