1. Welcome & Introduction

Welcome to DTA-Energy

On behalf of all my colleagues, I am pleased to welcome you as our second cohort

of University Alliance DTA research students in the doctoral training programme for

Energy.

The increase in energy demand, combined with the international drive to reduce

carbon emissions and enhance the use of renewable energy, is driving multi-

disciplinary energy research and innovation from all aspects including supply,

transmission, storage and consumption. To excel in energy research, an integrated

approach between institutions, researchers, and disciplines is needed to exchange

knowledge and optimise the use of resources. For this reason, DTA Energy has been

established; which will also provide a sense of community for the students.

This Handbook has been prepared to provide you with an easy reference guide to

finding useful information about the DTA programme and its structure; relevant

contacts on the DTA programme and details about the DTA Autumn School in

November 2017. The Handbook will also provide answers to important questions

about the DTA programme, but the most up-to- date information will always be

available on the DTA website: www.unialliance.ac.uk/dta

I hope you will find your time on the DTA programme enjoyable and rewarding,

wishing you every success with your studies.

I look forward to welcoming you personally to DTA Energy at the DTA Autumn School.

Best wishes

Professor Amin Al-Habaibeh

2. The DTA Researcher

The Doctoral Training Alliance (DTA) is the flagship doctoral programme for

University Alliance institutions and DTA researchers are among the most able, the

most skilful and the most hardworking of all doctoral candidates. The DTA aims to

produce independent, trained, highly employable researchers with knowledge,

expertise and skills in strategically-important research areas. DTA graduates are

expected to go on to become national and international leaders in their chosen

professions, across academia, the private, public and voluntary sectors.

The DTA seeks to develop five particular advance qualities in its researchers,

alongside their academic expertise, and DTA researchers must take every

opportunity to grow themselves in these areas:

1. Values - DTA researchers can articulate the essence, privileges and responsibilities

of being a researcher. They possess the values of the academy and they

understand that research excellence can only be achieved through a

combination of intellect, integrity and rigour;

2. Community and Networking - DTA researchers are outward-looking and form part

of a strong national and international research community that will become an

influential and powerful association, bringing benefit to the discipline and the wider

community;

3. Specialist Skills - DTA researchers are highly able research practitioners and

continually seek to expand and sharpen their advanced technical and specialist

skills. They work at the cutting edge of their subject, developing and implementing

new methods and techniques and have appropriately high standards of

attainment;

4. Applied Research and Enterprise - DTA researchers undertake hypothesis-driven

research that seeks to have a positive impact on the economy and society by

tackling real-world challenges. DTA researchers are industry-engaged, aware of

the needs and opportunities of the related sectors, and foster dialogue to

strengthen these connections. They will exploit the outcomes of their research

through commercialisation, spin-out companies, KTPs and consultancy work;

5. Communication and Translation - DTA researchers actively pursue engagement

with all parties who may be interested in their research and translate their work into

formats that can readily be accessed by different audiences: within academia

through conferences and publishable written outputs; with industrial partners and

policy-makers; and with the general public.

By developing these qualities, DTA researchers equip themselves for success in a

wide variety of rich and fulfilling careers beyond the end of the DTA programme.

They also become DTA alumni and are encouraged to maintain and utilise long-term

connections with their cohort, DTA partners, and past and future members of the

larger DTA community.

Teesside University Darlington, Vicarage Road, Darlington, DL1 1JW

Teesside University Darlington is 23 minutes’ walk from Darlington Train station or

22 minutes’ walk from Mercure Darlington Kings Hotel. Alternatively, a taxi

journey will typically take around 6 - 8 minutes. There is also limited pay and

display parking available at the Darlington campus.

5.2 Special requirements

If you have any special requirements relating to access or dietary needs, please

contact University Alliance DTA staff prior to the Autumn School to ensure

arrangements can be made in advance of the day.

5.3 Accessing elective bursaries

Each DTA research student will have access to funds from their own university as

part of their DTA studentship to allow them to attend DTA events. Up to a

maximum £1,500 per year will be made available. The bursary supports DTA

research students to attend DTA inductions, annual residential schools and joint

training courses offered through the elective programme, enabling researchers

to interact with colleagues at collaborating institutions.

These funds can be used towards travel, subsistence and accommodation

expenses, as well as other associated costs, such as childcare/carer costs, which

are approved by their own university.

The elective bursaries are administered directly by your university. Contact your

DTA Training Group lead for guidance (see page 20 for contact details).

6.1 DTA Elective Programme Overview

As part of the overall Doctoral Training Programme, a bespoke programme of

elective training opportunities is offered to students throughout the year. This

programme will consist of courses offered by partner universities which might not be

available within a student’s home university and is aimed at providing added-value

for the DTA student.

Attendance is based on individual development needs and the focus of the DTA

researcher's project. However, there is an expectation that DTA students will take full

advantage of the bespoke training programme on offer. DTA students will be

required to attend a minimum of three electives over the course of their PhD

programme. This will include both individual electives as well as electives embedded

within the residential Autumn and Summer School events.

Selecting which electives to attend

❖ Attendance at electives is based on individual development needs and the

focus of a student’s individual research project.

❖ The work undertaken as part of the Development Needs Analysis workshop at

the Autumn School can provide a valuable tool to reflect back on development

needs and help students identify relevant electives. Students should work closely

with their supervisors to identify their skills needs in selecting electives.

❖ There is an expectation that DTA students will take full advantage of this bespoke

training programme offered and attend at least three electives over the course

of the programme.

aspects of the Smart Grid. A Smart Grid is an

electricity network that can intelligently integrate the

actions of all users connected to it—generators,

consumers and those that do both—in order to

efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and secure

electricity supplies. In some ways, Smart Grid is a

vision for the future electrical power systems, but

many aspects of it are already been deployed in
