  • KTH to Host New Smart Grids Centre

    KTH has been selected to anchor the new Swedish Centre for Smart Grids and Energy Storage (SweGRIDS), bringing academia together with industry and public utilities to tackle the European Union’s ambitious targets for improved energy efficiency. Some one hundred scientists will work on development of electric power grids that respond intelligently to consumer and supplier behaviour.

  • Solar energy faces up to a challenge

    Better feeds to the electricity grid, energy storage and smart grids in combination with solar cells and less expensive solar equipment. These are a few of the items on the agenda to ensure that solar energy will become an energy solution to be reckoned with in the future.

  • The simulator which will ensure the supply of electricity to Sweden

    In the aftermath of the storm Gudrun, it was estimated that 730,000 Swedish electricity customers were without electricity when around 30,000 km of electric cables were damaged, of which, nine per cent were damaged so badly that a complete rebuild was necessary. Twenty days after the storm, 12,000 customers were still without electricity and for some subscribers, the interruption lasted for a total of 45 days. KTH researchers have now developed a simulator that will eliminate power cuts.
