8 Introduction Professor Peter Bruce, Director Energy Storage SUPERGEN

As Director of the SUPERGEN Energy Storage Research Hub, Energy SUPERSTORE (http:// www.energysuperstore.org), it is my pleasure to share with you the summary of the UK’s capability in Energy Storage Research. This has been produced through the Hub and fund- ed by the Research Councils Energy Programme. This document will be updated regularly and available via the Hub’s website. If your research is not yet included and you would like it to be, then please contact us.

Energy storage will become an increasingly vital of the energy landscape, transforming transportation and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Energy storage is being de- ployed on electricity grids across the world. Many energy storage research challenges remain to be addressed. The UK research base is well placed to play a significant role in addressing these challenges.

The continued development and commercialisation of Energy Storage technology requires a collaborative approach between and within academia, industry and government. We hope that this document stimulates collaboration across the sector, and promotes new links with the outstanding UK research base in the field.

Biography I am carrying out research with colleagues in the Engineering Department on a solar concentrator for use as a solar cooker for the developing world. The work has been funded by grants from the Leverhulme Trust and the STFC. Previously I was head of the UK Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) group. SNO discovered in 2001 that the explanation for the observed deficit in solar neutrinos (The Solar Neutrino Problem) was that solar neutrinos change from one kind to another (flavour transformation) while traveling through the Sun to the Earth. I lectured on Energy Science to physicists and these lectures gave rise to a textbook ‘Energy Science’ by John Andrews and Nick Jelley This was first published by OUP in 2007 and a second edition was published in 2013. 100-150 words
