The Swedish electricity system is changing, a rethink is required

HVDC technology is identified as an enabler for integrating renewable energy, especially for offshore wind turbines that need to be connected to the existing grid. It also requires the technology to expand beyond today's HVDC lines that run between two points, instead having a more interconnected multi-terminal network.

Increased demand for electricity requires new solutions and innovations

Explore a future in energy

KTH offers over 60 English-taught master's programmes, including a wide range of programmes that will let you shape the future of energy. Explore power generation from various energy sources, manage energy usage and supply and develop power systems and grids for sustainable societies.
