The objective is to be able to plan the maintenance better by following the condition of the equipment. The risk matrix can be used to choose which component to be maintained. The risk matrix is improved by adding a dimension, the uncertainty of the probability. The risk can be reduced along any dimension: better measurements, preventive maintenance or more redundancy. The number of dimensions can be reduced to two by following iso-risk lines calculated for the beta distribution. This thesis lists twenty surveys about circuit breakers and disconnectors, with statistics about the failures and the lifetime. It also presents about forty condition- measuring methods for circuit breakers and disconnectors, mostly applicable to the electric contacts and the mechanical parts. A method for scheduling thermography based on analysis of variance of the current is tried.

  • Swedish Nuclear Power Policy
    The Research Project Energy Opinion in Sweden Department of Political Science University of Gothenburg Per Hedberg Sören Holmberg April 2008 Swedish Nuclear Power Policy A Compilation of Public Record Material History Nuclear Power “In Sweden, nuclear technology started in 1947, when AB Atomenergi was constituted to carry out a development programme decided by the Parliament. As a result, the first research reactor went critical in 1954. This was followed by the first prototype nuclear power plant (PHWR) Ågesta located to a rock cavern in a suburb of Stockholm. The Ågesta reactor was mainly used for district heating and operated from 1964 until 1974, when it was permanently shut down. The first commercial nuclear power plant Oskarshamn 1 was commissioned in 1972 and was followed by another eleven units sited at Barsebäck, Oskarshamn Ringhals and Forsmark in the time period up to 1985. The twelve commercial reactors constructed in Sweden comprise 9 BWRs (ASEA-ATOM design) and 3 PWRs (Westinghouse design). As a result of political decisions, the twin BWR units Barsebäck 1 and 2 were finally shut down in 1999 and 2005 respectively. In 2004, Studsvik Nuclear decided to permanently shut down the two research reactors (R2 and R2–0) at the Studsvik site. They were closed in June 2005. The decision was taken on economical grounds, the licences had recently been extended until 2014, subject to certain conditions. The reactors were mainly used for commercial materials testing purposes, isotope production, neutron source for research purposes, medical applications and higher education. They are currently under decommissioning.” (From DS 2007:30:11-12) “Nuclear policy was the major domestic policy issue during the mid and late1970s.

  • BARSEBACK NUCLEAR PLANT FEBRUARY 99 Sydkraft AB
    XA04C1328 BARSEBACK NUCLEAR PLANT FEBRUARY 99 by Ann-Christin Buch BarsebHck Kraft AB, Sweden OH of the plant Barsebdck Nuclear Power Plant is situated in the south of Sweden 19 km from Copenhagen in Denmark. Barsebdck Kraft AB is a private company, parent company is Sydkraft AB. Barsebdck data: 2 BWR-units, 615 MW each, 1975 and 1977 OH of Sweden There are 4 nuclear power plants in Sweden with a total of 12 reactors, 9 BTR-units (ABB) and 3 WR-units (Westinghouse). Further facts: w-ww.Udkraft.se The Threat of a Phase out of Barsebick 1 Current situation In December 1998 we are awaiting the decision of the Supreme Administrative Court in Sweden whether the decision of the Swedish government to close Barsebdck is in accordance with the law. We have reason to believe our legal position is very strong. The Supreme Administrative court may even forward the case to the EC Court of Justice, since the case is unique. See Feb 24 98 below Barsebdck should, according to the government decision, have been closed before the 1" of July 1998, but the Supreme Administrative Court ruled on Stay of Execution, after Barsebdck Kraft had applied for judicial review. In parallel with the legal process Sydkraft, our parent company, continue a dialogue with the Government, which may result in an agreement between the two parts. In that case it will result in a co-operation between Sydkraft and Vattenfall (owned by the government), where the compensation for the loss of Barsebdck 1 will be shares in Ringhals Nuclear Power plant (Owned by the government via Vattenfall).

Chapter 2 The Integrated Nordic Power Market and the Deployment of Renewable Energy Technologies: Key Lessons and Potential Implications for the Future ASEAN Integrated Power Market 1 LUIS MUNDACA T. CARL DALHAMMAR DAVID HARNESK Energy and Environmental Economics (E-3) International Consulting Services The report examines the integrated Nordic power market and its linkages to renewable energy technology (RET) deployment for power production. It has two purposes. First, it aims to improve the understanding of the expansion of the Nordic power market and integration and deployment of RET. Secondly, it takes lessons from the Nordic experience that could inform the development, deployment and integration of RET in the future ASEAN integrated power market. Whenever possible, historical or co-evolution aspects are addressed. The study analysed three central building blocks underpinning the development of the Nordic market: i) the Nordic power system and its links to the European (EU) power markets ii) significant policy and regulatory characteristics that have driven both market power integration and RET deployment and iii) the complexities and technicalities of the Nordic power market exchange (the Nord Pool Spot).

Planen innefattar ett riktvärde om att en påverkan på mer än 1,5 TWh eller 2,3 % innebär en betydande negativ påverkan på vattenkraften och största möjliga hänsyn ska tas till detta. För att klara riktvärdet måste undantag göras, vilket är helt i linje med vattendirektivet under förutsättning att ett antal villkor är uppfyllda. Denna rapport ger förslag på metoder och tillämpning i en stegvis process för att uppfylla regelverkets krav om undantaget mindre stränga krav. Projektet har genomförts av Claes Hedenström på Capril AB och följts av programmets styrgrupp som består av Birgitta Adell & Marco Blixt (Fortum), Erik Sparrevik (Vattenfall), Johan Tielman (Sydkraft Hydropower), Linda Olofsson (Holmen), Susann Handler (Jämtkraft), Jakob Bergengren (Tekniska verken i Linköping), Angela Odelberg (Statkraft), Sandra Åström (Skellefteå kraft) och Olivia Langhamer (Havs‐ och vattenmyndigheten). Rapporten har tagits fram inom Vattenkraftens miljöforskningsprogram som verkar för ny kunskap och en ökad kompetens om åtgärder inför beslut om investeringar i vattenkraft. Programmet koordinerats av Energiforsk och finansieras av Vattenfall Vattenkraft, Fortum, Sydkraft Hydropower, Statkraft Sverige, Skellefteå Kraft, Holmen Energi, Jämtkraft, Tekniska verken i Linköping, Mälarenergi, Karlstads Energi och Jönköping Energi.
