School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.
Topics: Power grid technologies for a sustainable society
Abstract:
The energy system is in a global transition, motivated by climate and energy goals and a growth in energy needs. The United Nations adapted a resolution for a sustainable development with 17 goals up to 2030. In 2020, the EU Framework Program for Research and Innovation presented the European Green Deal Call of €1 billion investment to boost the green and digital transition, with targets for no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050. This calls for transmission system operators and distribution system operators to fast-track the integration of clean energy solutions into the electrical grid, and to develop bold and agile strategies with policy makers and stakeholders to fast-track the integration of clean energy solutions. In this context, the European Network of Transmission System Opera¬tors for Electricity (ENTSO-E) has developed a Research, Development and Innovation Roadmap for 2020-2030 (RDI Roadmap). The RDI Roadmap address challenges to reaching the 2030 goals outgoing from placing the electrical grid at the core of an integrated, decarbonized energy system.
This presentation will discuss green developments of the power grid as an enabler for the sustainable energy transition. Examples will be given from the European and Swedish experiences.
