EPSRC's Chief Executive, David Delpy, said: "It is absolutely vital we find ways to improve the efficiency, reliability and sustainability of electricity supply and distribution both here and abroad. EPSRC is at the cutting edge of innovative international collaborations such as this one between the UK and China. We are particularly well-placed to bring together the best scientific minds from across the world to work on the fundamental research which will drive energy solutions to benefit us all."
Professor Che Chengwei, Deputy Director General of the Department of Engineering and Material Sciences at NSFC, said: "With smart grids as the main platform for future energy supply, research in this field has been carried out all over the world vigorously. We believe that through the research projects jointly funded by NSFC and EPSRC, researchers from China and the UK are able to establish a long-term and far-reaching cooperative research relationship and promote the development of smart grids in both countries."
